In a measured statement, Kajwang noted that the 2022 gubernatorial ticket that brought together Wanga and Magwanga was formed after consultations led by Raila Odinga.
The pairing was widely viewed as a strategic move meant to consolidate support and steer the county toward stable leadership and accelerated development.
Kajwang, who chaired the campaign that delivered their victory, said the partnership had symbolized unity and shared purpose despite political differences.
He described the resignation as an unfortunate turn of events, especially for residents who had placed their hopes in the team’s collective leadership.
While acknowledging that political partnerships can face challenges, the senator emphasized the importance of dialogue and reflection in resolving internal disagreements.
Kajwang thanked Magwanga for his service to the county and recognized his contribution during his tenure as deputy governor.
At the same time, he urged Governor Wanga to carefully assess the circumstances that led to the separation, noting that unresolved issues, if left unaddressed, could affect the stability of future working relationships within the county executive.
The senator reaffirmed that leaders from Homa Bay have deliberately maintained a supportive environment to allow the county government to focus on service delivery.
He stressed that unity and stability are essential for meaningful development and called for renewed commitment to a people-centered administration that prioritizes the needs of residents above political interests.
