Shedding Wanga? Senator Kajwang’ Stirs the Pot in Wanga-Odhiambo Feud
The political temperature in Homa Bay County has reached a boiling point as Senator Moses Kajwang’ appears to have taken a side in the escalating cold war between Governor Gladys Wanga and Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo.
The friction, which has played out across social media for the last 48 hours, stems from accusations by bloggers allied to Governor Wanga.
They claim that Odhiambo is “envious” of the Governor’s rapid political rise and has refused to acknowledge her achievements. The rift deepened over the controversial “Sifuna Fate,” where the two leaders hold diametrically opposed views on party discipline.
The Sifuna Factor
The bone of contention involves ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna. Reports suggest:
- Governor Wanga is reportedly pushing for Sifuna’s ousting, citing a lack of respect toward elder statesman Oburu Odinga.
- Millie Odhiambo has taken a more conciliatory stance, urging the party to recall Sifuna for dialogue rather than expulsion, arguing that internal cohesion is paramount for the party’s survival.
A Picture Worth a Thousand Words?
Just as the online onslaught against Odhiambo reached a crescendo, Senator Moses Kajwang’ waded into the murky waters. On Friday, the Senator posted a throwback photo on his Facebook page showing him and Millie Odhiambo dancing joyfully during a past public engagement.

While the post lacked a lengthy caption, the timing has sent shockwaves through the county’s political circles. Supporters of the Governor have interpreted the post as a subtle “middle finger” to the Wanga camp, suggesting that the Senator stands in solidarity with the Suba North legislator.
“Is the Senator ‘Shedding Wanga’?” one resident commented, referencing the clever pun on the Senator’s surname.
Kenyans are now demanding clarity from Kajwang’, asking whether the post was a simple trip down memory lane or a calculated political endorsement of Odhiambo amidst the “envy” allegations. As of press time, the Senator has remained tight-lipped, leaving the photo to do the talking.
