Hundreds of Nyanza residents converged for a two-day Luo cultural festival event in Homa Bay County. Azimio leader Raila Odinga, who will grace the event, was received by governors Gladys Wanga (Homa Bay), Ochillo Ayacko (Migori) and James Orengo (Siaya).

Raila was invited into the event dubbed Piny Luo as the chief guest by the organisers.

Speaking during her opening remarks, Wanga said they organized the event to revive the spirit of togetherness, productivity and resourcefulness in the community.

The extravaganza involves prayers, a cultural exhibition of traditional artefacts, foods and medicine, sports, and tourism.

“Through the event, we’re reflecting where our people came from. The event reminds us about authentic Luo,’’ Wanga said.

Senators Moses Kajwang, Oburu Oginga, MPs Millie Odhiambo, Opiyo Wandayi, Lilian Gogo, and Otiende Amolo are already at the event.

Raila is leading the event despite a court order barring it from taking place.

On Thursday, Justice Daniel Odumbe issued the orders stopping the event pending the hearing and determination of the case.

“Interim conservatory order is hereby issued prohibiting the respondents, their agents and servants from issuing any instructions, plans, actions or activities arising based on their decision to hold a meeting described as Piny Luo 2023 or any other time in Homa Bay county or anywhere else,” he ruled.

The application is set to be heard on July 4.

But on Friday, the chairman of the council in Homa Bay Ogada Gor said the event is taking place because they believe courts should not be involved in cultural affairs.

“This is an event that brings the Luo community together. It is prudent we don’t mix it with personal interests,” Gor said.
