Siaya leaders ask police to speed up probe of slain Wells Fargo HR

Politicians in Siaya County want the Police to unravel the mysterious murder of the late Wells Fargo Human Resource Manager Willis Ayieko and reveal perpetrators of the heinous crime.

Speaking during the late Ayieko’s burial at Ong’iende village in Central Alego location, the leaders, among the members of parliament, governors and a cabinet secretary said they were not ready for theories, adding that all they want were answers that will ensure that both the planners and executors of the plan face justice.

Addressing mourners, Alego/Usonga Member of Parliament, Samuel Atandi expressed fear that some of the people conducting the investigations could be advancing theories that would derail efforts to bring the planners to justice.

“I have come to the conclusion that may be, there is somebody, a bigger force, that is trying to stifle investigations so that the family of the late Willis and his friends do not get justice,” said Atandi.

He said that a senior DCI official had told him that they were pursuing a theory that the deceased was killed by members of a vigilante group that was hired to provide security at a funeral vigil that Willis attended in Gem.

“The police are letting us down. We are tired of theories that appear bent at bending the cause of justice,” he said.

Siaya Governor, James Orengo urged the police to stop going round with stories, saying that all that Kenyans wanted was the planners and killers of the late Human resource manager.

He said that the police must use modern technology to bring all the players in the heinous crime to book.

Ugenya MP, David Ochieng and his Rarieda counterpart, Otiende Amollo lamented that the culture of abductions and mysterious killings had taken root in the country and accused the government of encouraging the same.

Ochieng said that leaders and all Kenyans must register their displeasure at the way police were handling the unexplained murders and abductions.

“It is a national menace that has been encouraged by the Government. People are killed and someone comes on television to defend the deaths,” said Ochieng.

Rarieda legislator, Otiende Amollo said it was the responsibility of the government to give security to every citizen and urged security forces to pull up their socks.

The Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Opiyo Wandayi, who also addressed the occasion, assured that the Government was committed to bringing the perpetrators to book and called for calm.

The occasion was attended by a host of legislators, among them Gideon Ochanda (Bondo) Siaya woman representative. Dr. Christine Ombaka, Lang’ata MP, Felix Odiwuor alias Jalang’o and Busia governor, Paul Otuoma among others.

The late Ayieko, 52 years, went missing on18th October, 2024 only for his body to be discovered four days later at Mungoware stream that forms the border of Siaya and Kisumu counties.

He had earlier attended a funeral vigil in Gem.

He is survived by a widow, Esther Wagumba and two children.
