Gladys Nyasuna Wanga, the governor of Homa Bay, has not been her bubbly self. She recently lost one of her fiercest defenders, Kasipul Mheshimiwa Charles Ong’ondo Were, felled by an assassin’s bullets.
Her eyes no longer carry joy, but tears that would fill several jerrycans. Wanga is convinced Were’s killing was related to her county’s succession politics. She speaks as though she knows the people behind the assassination but is too afraid to smoke them out.
