Sifuna, Babu and Orengo in Trouble After Claims About What Their Female Supporters Did in Homa Bay

Senator Aaron Cheruiyot has sparked debate after making remarks about the women who accompanied Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino and Siaya Governor James Orengo during their Linda Mwananchi visit to Homa Bay County.

In a video circulating on social media, Cheruiyot appeared to criticise the group that accompanied the three political leaders during their visit to the region.

He claimed that some of the women who travelled with the leaders came from well-developed areas and looked down upon residents of Homa Bay because of the conditions in their region.

According to Cheruiyot, the women allegedly laughed at local residents and questioned which country they were in after seeing the surroundings.

His remarks have brought attention to the political discussions surrounding the Linda Mwananchi movement and its activities in different parts of the country.

The movement has attracted attention through public rallies attended by several opposition leaders, including Sifuna, Babu Owino and Orengo. Their visits have also generated conversations about development, political support and the challenges facing different communities.

The Homa Bay visit was particularly notable because of discussions surrounding the condition of local roads and infrastructure. Images and videos showing dusty roads along routes used by the visiting leaders attracted attention on social media.

The remarks by Cheruiyot have also introduced another angle into the debate, with questions emerging about how visitors view communities that have struggled with development challenges.

His comments focused on the alleged behaviour of some people accompanying the political leaders rather than directly addressing the development concerns raised during the visit.

The controversy comes at a time when political leaders are increasingly engaging communities as they position themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election. However, the full context of the circulating video and any response from the people mentioned remain unclear.
