Governor Okoth Obado Denied VIP Treatment in Prison

Migori Governor Okoth Obado has been moved from a VIP section at Nairobi’s Industrial Area Remand Prison to a block where suspects charged with capital offences are held.

Capital offence suspects are held in a block, divided in cubicles that host three to four of them and lavatories are shared

The governor is now reportedly blending with other suspects donning a grey uniform.

Obado’s typical day starts at around 6.30 am when breakfast, porridge, is served.

Lunch is then served at 11 am and just like everyone else, the county boss takes what is on the menu, including ugali, rice and beans.

He is served with dinner at 4 pm then locked back in his cell at around 6.30 pm.

However, reports indicate that his food is better cooked and he still has a voucher which allows him to eat at the canteen.

Unlike last week where he had access to the canteen any time of the day, now he is only allowed there between 8 am and 10 am.

According to People Daily, not all visitors are allowed to see him.

When visitors come, he first asks who it is and chooses whether to see them or not. He is seeing his relatives and some of his friends,” a source intimated.

Reports emerged last week that the governor had the privilege to take food of his choice at the Industrial Area GK Prison.

Besides, the embattled Migori County boss was reported to have the privilege to entertain visitors other than his family and lawyers while in custody.
