“Wakati Ruto alituambia ‘pesa mfukoni,’ hatukuuliza ni mfuko wa nani. Kumbe ilikuwa pesa kwa mfuko wake. Sasa mimi nimetoka huko kwa sababu ya uongo. Hajaleta maendeleo hapa kwetu,” she said.
Omanga claimed that her initial support was based on trust in promises that were made during the campaign period, but argued that the situation on the ground has not reflected those expectations.
She further stated that her decision to distance herself from the political alignment was influenced by what she described as unmet development commitments in her area, insisting that residents have not benefited as anticipated.
Her comments come amid growing public debate on political accountability and delivery of campaign promises, particularly those tied to economic improvement and cost of living concerns.
Omanga’s remarks are likely to draw attention within political circles given her previous close association with the ruling coalition and active role in past election campaigns.
She suggested that many supporters who believed in the campaign messaging are now re-evaluating their positions based on current realities, especially regarding development and service delivery.
The former aspirant’s statement adds to ongoing political conversations across the country as leaders begin positioning themselves ahead of future electoral cycles, with increased scrutiny on governance performance and public expectations.
While she did not provide specific details on projects or programmes, her message focused on the broader issue of accountability and the gap between political promises and implementation.
Political analysts note that such remarks reflect a wider trend of political realignment and public reassessment of leadership performance, particularly in relation to economic hardship and local development concerns.
