He further noted that they had queued for 3 hours when officials turned up for the voting exercise. Upon arrival one of the election officials informed the voters that they could not access a code that was needed to operate the gadget.

"I vote here and when I went to vote I was ready by 6am because I work in the jua Kali sector. I had to wake up very early and the election devices were late by 3 hours. 

"I was frustrated because they brought the kits and left. Then the person who was supposed to attend to the voters kept telling us there is no password," he added.

Oluoch stated that 'Password' has become his nickname and people have started recognizing him. At first, he noted that he was worried he had said something offensive which is why people in Homa Bay Town wanted to take pictures with him.

He noted that if his viral moment could make him the money he will embrace that. The ODM supporter revealed that he is a comedian but he has never gotten a platform to showcase his skills.

He stated that he wants to showcase his talents and attempt to break into the industry as a comedian. At the moment, Oluoch is partnering with a friend who has promised to help him shoot his content and share the same on social media.

Oluoch was among ODM supporters who raised concerns over delays witnessed during the party primaries last week in Homa Bay. Chaos was witnessed in the county tallying centre in the wee hours of Friday ahead of the announcement of results.
