While her county experienced violent disruptions, Governor Wanga was in neighboring Kisumu County attending a church event. A statement confirmed that the Governor had traveled to join religious leaders and faithful for an anniversary celebration.
“Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga joined other leaders in Kisumu this morning for the Voice of Salvation and Healing (VOSH) celebration marking 70 years of evangelical ministry,” read the statement from her close ally.
The timing of her absence has sparked intense online debate. Critics argue that as the county’s chief executive, her presence and immediate intervention were required to restore order amidst the chaos targeting opposition figures.
Conversely, her allies maintain that the governor’s schedule in Kisumu was pre-planned and unrelated to the political unrest unfolding on the ground.
With video evidence circulating widely on social media platforms, calls are growing for law enforcement agencies to investigate the perpetrators who brought violence to Sifuna’s team and ensure stability is restored in Homa Bay.
