Kaluma’s “We Have Donated Them” Remark on Babu Owino and Orengo Sparks Debate, Seen as Political Signal in Gachagua Camp Ahead of 2027

A light-hearted yet politically charged remark by Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma has triggered widespread discussion in Kenya’s political circles, with many interpreting it as a symbolic boost for former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua ahead of the 2027 General Election. WATCH VIDEO.

Kaluma, in a statement that quickly went viral, said, “We have donated these two to Rigathi Gachagua to help him,” referring to Embakasi East MP Babu Owino and Siaya Governor James Orengo. 

While the comment appeared humorous on the surface, it has since been dissected by political observers as a reflection of deeper rivalries and strategic positioning within the opposition and broader national political landscape.

The remark has drawn attention due to the prominence of the individuals mentioned. Both Babu Owino and James Orengo are known for their strong political voices, vocal criticism of government policy, and ability to shape public debate through outspoken contributions in Parliament and beyond.
