Omollo challenges Kalonzo, Orengo to explain record as he rallies support for Ruto in 2027

Omollo said voters should scrutinise the track record and plans of every candidate seeking an elective position, from Members of County Assembly to the presidency.

Kisumu, Kenya - Interior and National Administration Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo has urged opposition leaders to explain their public service records ahead of the 2027 General Election, in a bid to rally support for President William Ruto. Speaking during a meeting in Homa Bay with grassroots mobilisers, Omollo emphasized that voters should assess the achievements and plans of all candidates, from county officials to the presidency.

He pointed out that despite being in public service for years, former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka and Siaya Governor James Orengo have not demonstrated significant contributions to the nation. Omollo asked Musyoka what he has accomplished in his years of leadership, and challenged Orengo to reveal his accomplishments since being elected governor of Siaya.

Additionally, Omollo criticized Suba South MP Caroli Omondi for his opposition to Ruto’s re-election bid, urging him to base his criticisms on factual evidence. Omollo highlighted several development projects undertaken by the Ruto administration in Suba South, such as road construction, as proof of the government's commitment to progress.

He encouraged Homa Bay residents to pay attention to these projects and programmes when voting, and advised them to ensure they possess the required identification and voter registration documents for the upcoming election.
