*SERICHO WARD: SIGEE CBO TOURNAMENT 2019 EDITION COMES TO A SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION AS WINNERS IN VARIOUS CATEGORIES GET AWARDED*

SIGEE C.B.O TOURNAMENT 2019 EDITION WINNERS (Super Eagles) CELEBRATING WITH THEIR NEWLY WON TROPHY!

SIGEE CBO is a local C.B.O made up of likeminded youth who teamed up in an attempt to change the destiny of their generation for the better albeit the myriad shortcomings they have to overcome which has been manifested upon them by both their geographical bearing on the globe characterised by little rainfall and harsh weather and cultural factors that have held the community hostage for millenia. 

Some of the cultural factors that have hindered the community for generations has been the Female Genital Mutilation(F.G.M) which the C.B.O strongly advocates against and has achieved tremendous results as cases of the vice continue decreasing as the years progress.

While it was formally established just about a year ago, the SIGEE team, led by their team leader Mr. Mawlid have hit the ground running and sought to demystify vices such as the FGM which the local community supposedly continues to hold onto despite the myriad complications it can likely cause to a woman who has undergone the procedure in the future especially during child birth.

The C.B.O also focuses on drug abuse among the youth which is an emerging trend among the mostly pastoralists youth where urban ills such as drug and alcohol abuse is becoming an increasingly becoming a major concern for community as statistics, though amateur, are worrying concerning the number of youth who are abusing a variety of drugs,with some supposedly being new narcotics-grade substances whose use/abuse have not been reported locally.

The C.B.O thought that the best way to pass such messages especially those targeting the youth would be through tournaments.

While the tournament that just ended today isn't the first or the only one the C.B.O has held, it stands out as irrefutably one of the biggest tournaments ever held on the Sericho soil with the tournament managing to attract a multi-dynamic throng that even politicians cannot come close to boasting about.

They are also open to any assistance that one may wish to channel their way in support either in kind or material.

#ICBNXCLUSIVE: BLOW TO 'PENTAGON' AS LAND CASE FAILS TO GET MENTIONED BECAUSE 'THE PRESIDING MAGISTRATE IS ON AN IMPROMPTU LEAVE'

-Sources.

The 'Pentagon' as earlier pictured alongside C.S Wamalwa. Rumours of 'a rift in the alliance have been rife since last week which has many questioning if they can be relied upon to 'deliver what they promised regarding land adjudication notice.'

'Pentagon', a loose alliance of local legislators have suffered a major setback in their quest to revoke the gazette notice L150 which classified Isiolo county as an adjudication area.

ICBN has since gathered that the presiding magistrate was away on 'an impromptu leave' hence the  mentioning of the case could not proceed as earlier anticipated.

The 'Pentagon' lawyer is expected to make an application for another date from the court for the mentioning of the case which may possibly spill over to next year.

A section of the pentagon members being briefed by their lawyer after the case they presented to a Meru court fails to get mentioned. The mentioning of the case is expected to be early next year as Kenyans break for festivities.

The pentagon members present were among others Hassan Odha(Isiolo North) and Rehema Jalsesa(Women Rep) and alongside a handful of their supporters.

This emerges even as rumours of rift are being reported in the coalition following certain local cultural/political events that happened late last week.

The Pentagon were accompanied by a handful of their supporters.

However, ICBN cannot confirm whether the absence of certain and supposedly senior alliance members such as Fatuma Dhullo(Senator,Isiolo County), Abdi koropu(Isiolo South) and Abshiro Halake(Senator, Nominated) is as a result of the reported 'rifts' or just a matter of convenience as the team is yet to give the public an official report about today's events.

ICBN shall let you know of any further development(s) concerning the above story.
