Homa Bay County Deputy Governor Joseph Oyugi Magwanga has resigned from his position, citing significant frustrations and constraints in carrying out his duties.

• Mr. Magwanga was elected as the Deputy Governor alongside Governor Gladys Wanga in the 2022 general election.
• Key issues contributing to his resignation include the alleged locking of his office, withdrawal of official vehicles, and general limitations hindering his ability to perform his mandate.
• He stated he preferred to step down rather than continue receiving a salary without fulfilling his responsibilities, a decision he discussed with journalists in Oyugis, Kasipul.
