A group of professionals and youth leaders from the Nyanza region, particularly from Kisumu and Siaya counties, have threatened to initiate impeachment proceedings against Siaya Governor James Orengo. The move comes in response to Orengo's criticism of President William Ruto and Raila Odinga's political alliance, which these groups view as detrimental to the region's interests. The professionals accuse Orengo of engaging in national politics instead of focusing on his responsibilities to the people of Siaya. This tension reflects broader political debates within Kenya, including concerns raised by Dan Maanzo about President Ruto's approach to devolution, specifically regarding the construction of over 400 markets that Maanzo argues should be managed by county governments rather than the national government. Additionally, Didmus Barasa highlighted the role of youth in political activism, noting that the Gen Z agenda has been co-opted by political opportunists. The situation underscores ongoing divisions within Kenyan politics about governance, youth involvement, and regional representation.
