Nuru Okanga denies selling posho mill bought with Oscar Sudi’s money

Nuru Okanga, a staunch supporter of ODM leader Raila Odinga, has publicly addressed claims circulating online that he sold his village posho mill, an asset he purchased with funds gifted by Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi.
Speaking when YouTuber 2mbili visited his Kakamega home on Monday, September 15, 2025, Okanga clarified that the posho mill remains fully operational and continues to generate daily income.
The mill, he said, provides him with Ksh400 per day, though on some days the earnings are Ksh350, based on the standard charging rate of Ksh10 per jar, or Ksh20 for two jars.
“People talk a lot, and some have even said that I sold the posho mill. I did not sell it. I have seen many people spreading stories about this posho mill. Even today, people come and use it, and it is still fully operational. This posho mill gives me Ksh400 per day and sometimes Ksh350. I charge 10 shillings per jar, so two jars go for Ksh20,” he said.
He explained that the funds received from Sudi were initially used to purchase the posho mill and subsequently to invest in infrastructure improvements.
He revealed that construction of supporting structures, including iron sheets, cost approximately Ksh50,000, while the mill itself was purchased for Ksh150,000, bringing the total investment to roughly Ksh200,000.
“The money that Sudi gave me after I bought the mill, I used to purchase materials to build the structures around the mill. The iron sheets alone cost Ksh50,000, and the posho mill was Ksh150,000. So, the total investment, including the construction, was around Ksh200,000. This is my investment,” he added.

Beyond the posho mill, Okanga revealed that he has invested in livestock, including a significant number of chickens and ornamental birds.
He added that the birds not only serve as an investment but also act as a form of security, as their presence ensures that any stranger approaching his property is immediately detected through their alert behaviour.
Okanga stressed that all these ventures are his personal investments and form part of his livelihood, highlighting that the posho mill continues to operate and that claims of its sale are false.
“I have also purchased many chickens, which are another investment. At my home, I am well-prepared. I even have ornamental birds that I have reared as an investment. The good thing about these birds is that they provide security: when they see a stranger at night, they start screaming immediately,” he said.
