Gladys Wanga Defends Homa Bay After ‘Yemen’ Remark Over Poor Roads
Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga on Sunday, August 16, defended the county’s development record following criticism over its poor roads.
Speaking during a funds drive at Wikondiek SDA Church in Karachuonyo, Homa Bay County, Wanga attributed the poor state of roads in parts of the county to years of marginalisation under previous regimes.
Wanga said Homa Bay had been marginalised partly because its residents had historically participated in the struggle for national reforms, including the push for a new Constitution, devolution and human rights.
“They are laughing at us saying Homa Bay looks like Yemen, because of bad roads. They don't understand our pain because all these years we've been voting but no development has come to this region because we decided to fight for the country, to bring new constitution, devolution and human rights,” Wanga stated. #Homabay #Wanga
