Migori Governor Okoth Obado has dismissed reports linking him to the abduction and murder of Rongo University student Sharon Otieno.
The Governor, through Migori County communications director Nicholas Anyuor said the claims are meant to taint reputation.
Obado, who belongs to the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), also demanded that the media stops publishing unsubstantiated allegations that he allegedly impregnated and abandoned the student.
Obado termed the ncident as a political witch hunt adding that police should be given time to carry out their investigations. He said the arrest of his personal assistant Michael Oyamo is not enough to associate him to the abduction saga.
The lifeless body of Sharon was found dumped in Kodera Forest two days after she went missing. She was reportedly kidnapped alongside Nation journalist Barack Oduor at a hotel in Rongo on Monday evening.
Sharon had allegedly met the journalist at the hotel to share her story on how Governor Okoth Obado had impregnated and abandoned her. It is at the said restaurant where the two were kidnapped by unknown men but the journalist managed to escape a few hours later.
In a statement recorded with Nyanza Regional CID Coordinator, the journalist said he managed to jump out of the moving car at Nyangweso Market Centre in Rangwe constituency. He was badly injured and currently admitted to the Aga Khan Hospital in Kisumu.
On Tuesday, police arrested Governor Obado’s personal assistant Michael Oyamo in connection with the abduction.
“The matter will be expeditiously investigated and the perpetrators of this heinous crime will be made to face the full force of the law,” Government spokesman Erick Kiraithe said in a statement on Wednesday.
The Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti has since deployed a homicide squad to Migori County to probe the death of Ms Otieno, who was allegedly seven months pregnant at the time of her death.

Dada Zangu Wapendwa:
Nawaombeni tafadhali mkubali MWUMBAJI na tofauti zote tunazoona kwa macho yetu na nyingine nyingi ambazo hatuoni kwamba tofauti ya maumbile ya binadamu hayakufanywa na binadamu ila MWUMBAJI:
Ningependa kujua, kwa nini?
1. Mnachukia ngozi mliyopewa na MUMBAJI na kuhatarisha maisha yenu kwa kutumia kemikali (chemicals) ambazo zinaweza kudhuru ngozi zenu na kuwaletea saratani (cancer) ya ngozi?
2. Kwa nini mnanyemelea wanaume ambao wameoa na wana watoto kwa kufanya urafiki na mwanamume ambaye hadhamini mke wake na watoto aliozaa na mke wake?
3. Kwa nini mnavaa nywele za bandia (wig) kichwani na huku hizi nywele-bandia hazifanani na asili ya nywele za Kiafrika?
4. Kwa nini hamkubali kuwa uzee ni jambo ambalo haliepukiki kwa kupaka nywele zenu rangi nyeusi ili mwonekana kama mngali vijana?
5. Kwa nini mnaiga tabia mbovu za wanaume huku mkisahau ya kwamba MWUMBAJI aliwaumba ili muwe NGUZO ya familia?
6. Kwa nini mnazururazurura ovyo huku mkisahau ya kwamba kuna ugonjwa wa ukimwi (HIV Aids) abao hauna dawa? Baada ya kupata ugonjwa huu, mnakufa huku mkiwaacha watoto wenu wakiwa mayatima (orphans)? Jambo hili linahusu wanaume pia wanaotangatanga ovyo kwa kufanya mapenzi na wanawake wasiowajua na huku wana mke na watoto nyumbani?
AKILI NI MALI. MAARIFA NI MALI.
