Homa Bay County Chief of Staff and former Ramogi Radio presenter, Charles Odhiambo, is reportedly fighting for his life in the ICU after an alleged brutal attack.
Sources indicate that the husband of Governor Gladys Wanga suspected him of having an affair with his wife and, in a fit of rage, allegedly sent goons to discipline him.
The assault is said to have left Odhiambo unconscious, and his condition is reportedly critical. It is alleged that Wanga poached Charles Odhiambo from his lucrative radio job at Royal Media Services and appointed him as her Chief of Staff.
Rumors have been swirling for months that their relationship went beyond official duties, with claims that the two were frequently seen together in questionable circumstances.
The governor’s husband, reportedly fed up with the whispers and speculation, allegedly took matters into his own hands. Sources suggest that when he finally gathered evidence that confirmed his worst fears, he wasted no time in orchestrating an attack on Odhiambo.
This scandal has thrown Homa Bay County into chaos, with many questioning the integrity and leadership of the county boss. Wanga, who also serves as the ODM National Chairperson, has been accused of engaging in multiple affairs, with reports linking her to several prominent figures.
Allegations suggest that she has been romantically involved with leaders beyond Homa Bay, including a governor from Murang’a and a top Principal Secretary.
It is even rumored that she has made secret visits to State House in the dead of night for undisclosed reasons.
Critics argue that Wanga’s alleged personal escapades have compromised her ability to govern effectively. They claim that instead of focusing on service delivery, she is preoccupied with personal entanglements that are now turning violent.
Some say that her alleged reckless behavior has put county officials at risk, with Odhiambo now being the latest casualty of her rumored affairs.
There are also whispers that her close association with ODM figures has worsened the situation. Some claim that she played a key role in the controversial endorsement of Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja by Raila Odinga, a move that left many ODM supporters disappointed.
Wanga’s critics allege that her political decisions are influenced more by personal interests than by party loyalty. Furthermore, it is alleged that her ties to powerful figures within the ODM camp have made her untouchable. Some claim that even when she is caught in scandals, senior party members rush to her defense, shielding her from accountability.
However, this latest controversy has left many wondering whether she has finally bitten off more than she can chew. Reports also suggest that Wanga’s alleged high libido has made her the subject of gossip within political circles. Some claim that she has been linked to young men within ODM, including controversial figures like Gaucho.
There are even rumors that she has been mentored in her alleged escapades by Ida Odinga, who is accused of encouraging such behavior. These allegations, though unverified, paint a picture of a leader entangled in personal scandals rather than governance.
The people of Homa Bay are left questioning the kind of leadership they entrusted with power. The county, which is struggling with service delivery, now finds itself at the center of a scandal that exposes the alleged rot within its top leadership.
Whether justice will be served or whether this incident will be swept under the rug remains to be seen. For now, one thing is clear, Homa Bay County is in crisis, and its governor’s alleged personal affairs are taking center stage instead of development.
