Gloria Orwoba’s bold move to Orwoba exposes Wamuchomba in a fiery online rant, which has stirred up fresh drama in Kenyan politics, with the former nominated senator accusing Gathoni Wamuchomba of playing dirty games behind the scenes.
Orwoba didn’t hold back, claiming Wamuchomba once rang up former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i at 4 a.m., announcing an uninvited trip to Kisii that raised red flags for everyone watching. That early morning call, she said, was the first sign something felt wrong with Wamuchomba’s loyalties.
The fallout spilt out on social media this week, where Orwoba painted Wamuchomba as someone who tried to straddle two sides – cosying up to Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua while secretly eyeing a spot as Matiang’i’s running mate in future elections.
“She imposed herself in those faction meetings,” Orwoba charged in her posts, suggesting Wamuchomba crashed gatherings tied to Matiang’i without a real invite.
It all came to a head when Wamuchomba clashed with Gachagua, apparently because he wouldn’t hand her a direct nomination for the Kiambu governor race. No free pass, no alliance – that’s how Orwoba tells it.
Wamuchomba, known for her sharp tongue in Parliament, hasn’t stayed quiet either. She fired back with a post showing off what looks like a bulletproof vest and helmet, questioning critics about where they get their gear and hinting at deeper tensions.
“Did you buy this from Gikomba?” she asked sarcastically, turning the spotlight on church violence and keeping the feud personal. Her supporters jumped in, defending her as a fighter for women’s issues and grassroots causes.
But Orwoba’s claims hit a nerve, especially with past photos resurfacing of Wamuchomba alongside Matiang’i and Orwoba at events like church services in Kiambu.
Her push for dialogue after the June 2025 demos won her fans among the younger crowd, but it also put her at odds with party insiders.
People online can’t get enough. Comments range from laughs about the 4 a.m. call – “Who picks up at that hour anyway?” – to serious debates on loyalty in politics. One user quipped, “These exposés are better than soap operas.
“With elections looming in 2027, tickets for big seats like governor are gold. Wamuchomba’s ambitions for Kiambu aren’t secret; she’s talked openly about serving her people on a larger scale. But getting there without party blessings? That’s where things get sticky.
In Githunguri, constituents have mixed feelings. Some stand by their MP, praising her for speaking truth to power. “She’s one of us,” a local trader said over tea in the market. Others wonder if the drama distracts from real work, like fixing roads or creating jobs. Up in Parliament, colleagues watch closely – these personal jabs can snowball into bigger battles.
Orwoba wrapped up her message by questioning Wamuchomba’s track record. “What have you achieved?” she asked in one video, urging her to focus on delivery instead of side deals.
Wamuchomba, ever the fighter, has vowed to keep pushing for change, even if it means standing alone. Her recent calls to end violence in churches add another layer, tying into national talks on security and faith.
As the back-and-forth continues, Kenyans tune in for the next round. Politics here is never dull, but when women like these go head-to-head, it gets personal fast. Will this lead to reconciliation or more dirt being dug up? Only time will tell, but for now, Orwoba’s expose keeps the spotlight burning bright on Wamuchomba’s every move.
Down in cafes and matatus, folks debate it all day. “She’s exposing the games,” one passenger said. Another shrugged: “All politicians play them.” Whatever the truth, this feud pulls back the curtain on how power really works – calls in the dead of night, broken promises, and ambitions that don’t quit.
