Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga has publicly responded to Siaya Governor James Orengo, accusing him of using sexist remarks that demeaned women in leadership amidst political tensions within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party.

• Gladys Wanga stated she was deeply hurt by Orengo's "undertones that diminish, ridicule, or reduce" women due to their gender and age.
• The public exchange comes as Orengo faces potential impeachment threats in Siaya County.
• Wanga linked the controversy to ODM succession politics following the death of Raila Odinga and reaffirmed her support for Oburu Oginga as the party leader.

A lobby group, the Centre for Litigation Trust, has filed a lawsuit at the High Court seeking the immediate reinstatement of security officers allegedly withdrawn from Siaya Governor James Orengo.

• The lobby group claims Governor Orengo's personal and residential security detail was withdrawn on May 19, 2026, without notice or replacement.
• Key respondents in the case include Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen and Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja.
• The lawsuit argues the withdrawal is discriminatory and violates constitutional protections afforded to State officers, exposing the governor to unnecessary risk.
