Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga has urged ODM leaders who are still harsh critics of the government to go slow and support the broad-based government.
Wanga said since the ODM party joined the broad-based government, the Nyanza region had benefitted from various infrastructural developments, hence the need to support the government.
The Governor's sentiments were supported by Homa Bay Town Constituency Legislator Peter Kaluma, who said that ODM members should reciprocate President William Ruto's support for Raila Odinga to be the African Union Chair.
For a long time, the ODM party has been in opposition and has been critical of the government since President Ruto was elected in the August 2022 election, but this apparently changed mid-last year when ODM leader Raila Odinga agreed to work with the head of state.
