Kabondo Kasipul MP Eve Obara has criticised Siaya Governor James Orengo over remarks against Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, saying they demeaned the integrity of women leaders.

Obara said Orengo’s utterances are not only disrespectful, but also undermine the dignity, equality and progress of women in leadership and in society at large.

“As a nation, we have made significant strides in advancing gender equality and empowering women to take their rightful place in leadership. These gains must never be eroded by careless, derogatory and misogynistic attacks. Women leaders are elected and entrusted by the people to serve with honor, and they deserve respect, not ridicule,” she said.
