The most startling element of this puzzle is not Omwamba’s alleged recruitment network alone, but his role in having Senator Orwoba ejected from the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) in May 2025.
“Sifuna is bitter with President Ruto and the broad-based government because he wanted to be a Cabinet Secretary,” Orwoba stated.
Orwoba’s admission comes just days after her expulsion from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) on May 19, 2025.
With the seat now officially vacant, the IEBC is expected to begin the process of confirming Wakwabubi’s nomination in accordance with electoral laws.
The senator reserved particular criticism for the appointment of Hannah Cheptumo as Gender Cabinet Secretary, suggesting it reflects a broader disregard for women’s issues within the administration.
Orwoba was suspended for three months by the Senate in September last year after the house adopted a recommendation made by the Powers and Privileges Committee chaired by Senate Speaker Amason Kingi following a majority decision that will see her lose several privileges enjoyed as a Senator.
