Political Rift Erupts: Suna-West Peter Masara Accuses Migori Governor Ochilo Ayacko of Undermining Him and Prioritizing Weird Meetings Over County Development

In a dramatic and public confrontation, Suna West MP Peter Masara openly criticized Governor Ochillo Ayacko during a funeral in Oruba, Migori town, unveiling a deepening political rift within Migori County. Masara, who had been a vocal supporter of Ayacko, did not mince his words, accusing the governor of undermining him politically in Suna West and neglecting the county's overall development.

Expressing his disappointment, Masara stated, "We voted for Ochillo to work for us, instead of working, he is busy holding meetings to remove me as Suna West MP." The sharp rebuke by Masara highlights a significant shift in their political alliance, with Masara challenging Ayacko's commitment to the region and accusing him of prioritizing political maneuvering over governance.

Masara underscored his longstanding commitment to the region, noting his previous support for Ayacko's candidacy. However, he now feels betrayed by the governor's alleged actions and called on Ayacko to focus on delivering tangible development to the residents before considering a second term. Masara hinted at his potential candidacy for the governor seat in 2027, a move that could further intensify the political landscape in Migori County.

The tension between Masara and Ayacko reached a new level during a meeting attended by ODM leader Raila Odinga, where Masara publicly accused Ayacko's administration of undermining him when he planned to host Odinga in Suna West. Masara criticized Ayacko for missing the funeral of Mzee Ogutu, expressing concern about the governor's dedication to the community and questioning his social contributions.

Masara's strong and public stance underscores the growing political discord within Migori County, with speculations arising about his potential bid for the governor seat. As Ayacko faces increasing pressure over his development record, Masara's accusations add fuel to the already intense political climate in the region. Residents of Suna West, Suna East, and Nyatike are keenly observing the unfolding developments, anticipating potential shifts in the county's political landscape. The fallout between Masara and Ayacko may have far-reaching implications, shaping the political narrative in Migori County for the foreseeable future.
