AMWIK launches 2/3 Gender rule report. Calls for stakeholders to back women in competitive seats.

@AMWIK in partnership with @FNF_Kenya has launched its critical report, “Fifteen Years On: An Evaluation of Kenya’s Women Political Representation in Relation to the Two-Thirds Gender Rule,” which concludes that the constitutional dream of gender equality remains largely deferred, with Kenya lagging significantly behind East African peers like Rwanda (61.3%) due to persistent challenges.

Claim: Siaya Governor @orengo_james tendered his resignation following pressing health matters that have affected his ability to govern.

Fact-Check: No, Siaya Governor James Orengo has not resigned.
Summary: To arrive at this conclusion, an official phone call was placed to the Governor’s Personal Assistant (PA), Victor Marende, who clarified that the letter was fake, and members of the public should ignore it.

A further review of the @TheODMparty's official social media pages clarified the information, authoritatively dismissing the letter as fake.

The letter followed unverified rumors circulating online that the Siaya Governor was ill, while others suggested he was allegedly missing due to his recent dissenting stance concerning the broad-based government.
