18th Jan. 2012 - Kadibo Division on the electoral and boundaries review of Nyando Constituency By: Otieno Wagah
Following a meeting of all leaders of Kadibo Division held on the 17/01/2012 the following were resolved.
Kadibo Division be separated from Nyando Constituency and be made part of Kisumu East Constituency because that is where Kadibo's historical background lies. The reasons for this resolution kadibo is currently part of Kisumu East District Administratively, separation of Kadibo Division from Nyando Division was not peaceful. People found and many died and we would not like a repeat of the same. The people of nyando Dision have a historical hatred for people of Kadibo and the two cannot live together peacefully. Kadibo current population stand at 114,100 and projected to be 120,800 people by 2015. The historical events that culminated into separation of West Kano from East are still fresh in memory.

From the time of independence the admistration of Nyando (East Kano) and West Kano ( formerly Winam Constituency) was never one after the colonial government at lancaster house had recognized the same, then commissioned the boundary and created Winam and nNando constituency separately.Scrapping or deletion of Winam Constituency in 1987 and amalgamating it to Nyando was done in bad taste for Kadibo residents. The reason for our quitness was because we are abiding society and now that the twenty and above yrs have elapsed and constituency review had come, we asked the gvernment of kenya through the IIEC to help us out of the problem we had suffered due to political expediecy of that time. It should be noted that the people Kadibo in 1998 requested for return of Winam Constituency since it was lost. However, when report came out from IEBC that Kadibo was not removed from Nyando , it did not augur well with the residents of kadibo.

Now we are requesting the IEBC sitting on 23/1/2012 to have kadibo amalgated to kisumu East constituency while waiting for future creation of Kadibo Constiency in another 10 yrs to come by moving two wards can be removed from kisumu East Constiency to kisumu Central and 2 wards from Muhoroni Constituency to even it out. Therefore the entire Kadibo are against to be part of Nyando Constituency and they categorically assert that if they are forced to be part of Nyando Constiency, then they will would not better be registered as voters for the next general election and any member of the community who advocates for them to remain in Nyando Constituency should forget their support,or appeal to any party whic may come for their rescue would be assured of their votes come next general election since they have been left ophan including one of their own and the ODM party in which they voted for 2007.
