Governors James Orengo (Siaya) and Anyang' Nyong'o (Kisumu) were conspicuously absent from the burial of the late Kasipul Member of Parliament (MP) Charles Were on Friday, May 9, fueling speculation about their relationship with former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who attended the event.
Their absence was confirmed by Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, who conveyed their apologies to mourners.
The timing of their no-show comes amid swirling rumours of a growing rift with Raila, particularly over recent political developments.
Both Orengo and Nyong'o have publicly criticised Raila's decision to forge closer ties with President William Ruto.
