Most of the residents who spoke during Question and Answer session in the Campaign rally, unanimously decried the rampant land grabbing, describing it as “Existential Threat for the People of Odupi Sub-county” perpetrated by a politician (Name withheld for security reasons), for  using his powerful position to silence or influence court proceedings in his favor, leaving the majority population helpless and without land.

In his response to the issues the voters raised on land grabbing, the NRM Party MP Candidate Babanga Wilfred Erima who is also a Land specialist by profession and has an appointment with Ministry of Lands, as Customary Land Certificate Expert (CLCE), promised to address the question of Land grabbing within the shortest period after he assumes office as the MP for Terego East Constituency 2026 - 2031.

Apparently, Babanga Wilfred Erima who won the 17-7-2025 NRM Party primary election for Parliamentary position with 11,000 votes to become the official NRM Party candidate for Terego East Constituency MP position, is being wrestled against by three Candidates, including the State Minister for Lands, Housing and Urban development Hon Obiga Mario Kania who doubles as the incumbent MP but lost the NRM flag after he polled 7,000 votes from the primary election and he recently on 23-10-2025 got nominated as Independent Candidate, Jadribo Victor (Independent) and one other candidate.

Stay tuned.
