Homa Bay: UDA Chair mobilizes widows’ groups ahead of Madaraka Day

Homabay Town Constituency’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party Chairperson Frank Oluoch met with local widows’ groups’ leaders, urging them to mobilize their members to welcome President William Ruto during Madaraka Day celebrations in the region. 

Oluoch met leaders from Shauri Yako Estate, Arujo Ward, on Tuesday, and emphasized the significance of the event as a moment of pride and unity for Homa Bay.

“Let us demonstrate our unwavering support by ensuring a massive, spirited turnout. Together, we embody the resilience this county stands for,” he said.

He also addressed rising tensions within the UDA fraternity following allegations linking party members to the recent assassination of Kasipul MP Charles Ong’ondo Were.

Oluoch called for calm, dismissing the claims that his killing was politically motivated as “baseless tactics to destabilize our unity.”

“We trust in the rule of law and urge our supporters to remain peaceful as authorities investigate,” he added. 

During the meeting, Oluoch disbursed financial aid to the widows’ groups, pledging additional support post-Madaraka Day.
