Governor Wanga Hits Back at Critics Over Homa Bay Road Network
Homa Bay County Governor Gladys Wanga has fiercely defended her administration against critics mocking the county’s infrastructure.
Addressing recent jabs from Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and the Linda Mwananchi team, who likened the region’s road network to conflict-torn areas like Yemen, Wanga urged political opponents to respect the sacrifices made by the local community.
“They are laughing at us saying Homa Bay looks like Yemen because of bad roads,” Wanga remarked, directly addressing the mockery aimed at the region’s transport grid.
“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.”

Wanga emphasized that residents of Homa Bay have long endured marginalization and severe infrastructure deficits despite consistently championing national political and constitutional reforms that benefited the entire nation. She noted that the region sacrificed immediate development opportunities in pursuit of broader democratic rights.
However, the governor expressed optimism about the political shift toward an inclusive national executive. She reassured residents that key infrastructure initiatives are already underway to address the historical backlogs.
“Because we’re in a broad-based government, that road they are talking about is under the Lake Victoria Ring Road and will be tarmacked,” Wanga declared.
The broad-based arrangement has opened new avenues for national resource allocation to the region. Governor Wanga called on political leaders to give development efforts a chance, asserting that long-overdue projects—including major regional road corridors—will finally transform Homa Bay’s transport landscape.
