The Linda
Mwananchi movement plans a rally on August 16, 2026, with stops at 10 a.m. in
Nyandiwa, noon in Sindo, and 2 p.m. in Homa Bay Town, urging supporters to turn
out strong amid rising political friction.
Siaya Governor James Orengo accuses Homa Bay leaders of funding attacks with weapons like rungus and pangas, while Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga warns against the event and claims opposition troublemakers.
Both sides trade accusations of mobilizing goons, with leaders like Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna keeping spirits high by joking that non-dancers should stay home, as civil society calls for peace ahead of 2027 elections.
