The Suba Council of Elders has issued a warning to Migori Governor Ochillo Ayacko and Suna West MP Peter Masara, advising them against public clashes that are damaging Migori County's reputation. This caution comes after a notable altercation that took place during a funeral service in Oruba Ragana Ward, where a dispute over the speaking order escalated to a serious confrontation between the two leaders.

During the funeral, tensions arose as both Ayacko and Masara vied for the opportunity to address the mourners first, leading to a chaotic scene that disrupted the solemn occasion and caused guests to flee in fear. Although the situation was eventually defused without physical harm, it escalated to Migori Police Station for handling, highlighting the severity of the situation. Authorities and local representatives condemned this behavior, emphasizing the need for leadership that fosters unity rather than division.

The elders' appeal for restraint and dignity during public gatherings, especially during significant events like funerals, echoes a broader call for political leaders to demonstrate civility and honor the heritage of their communities. This incident serves as a reminder of the urgent need for improved decorum among public officials to preserve the dignity of events and enhance the community's image as a whole.
