The youths warned that while Wandayi and his relative, Moses Omondi, may be benefiting from government power, the wider community is not.

“Hapa Ugunja ni wantam.” Angry youths in Ugunja have vowed to reject Opiyo Wandayi’s allies at the ballot, declaring they owe no political loyalty to the President or his supporters.
