A section of Migori County Residents flocked at the Milimani law courts yesterday in defence of their main man Governor Okoth Obado who was arraigned ion court for the charge of murdering his pregnant girlfriend Sharon Otieno.
The residents expressed their disappointment claiming that their defence matched that of four lawyers inside the courtroom maintaining that Mr Obado is innocent, and that detectives should go for the real killer of Ms Otieno.
The group waved placards mocking Ms. Otieno while others blamed her.
Some also hit out at opposition leader Raila Odinga for “his silence” on Mr Obado’s woes.
“Raila has betrayed the people of Migori. Why can’t he speak out for our governor? We shall punish him when time comes,” said one of the supporters.
And for all these, the protestors have angered many Kenyans, including Kenyans on Twitter (KOT).
They castigated the protesters for their apparent insensitivity to the family of Ms Otieno.
According to one Facebook user said, “It is very wrong for the protesters to show such callousness by accusing the dead. What do they expect the family of Ms Otieno, which is mourning to think? This is aggravating their pain of losing a loved one.”
Ms Lilian Awiti was concerned that the majority of who were mocking Mr Obado’s slain girlfriend and son were women.
“It is unfortunate that those who are mocking Sharon are women. Instead of standing with their own and calling for speedy justice, they are blaming the dead and adding more pain to the bereaved family. This is very bad,” she posted on Twitter
