Emuhaya MP Omboka Milemba, representing the Amani National Congress (ANC), recently faced a hostile reception in Vihiga after voting in support of the motion to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
This decision sparked outrage among a group of angry youths in his constituency, who felt betrayed by his vote.
The confrontation turned violent as they chased him away and stoned his car, signaling deep dissatisfaction with his actions.
The impeachment motion was highly divisive, and Milemba’s support for it placed him at odds with many of his constituents.
The political landscape in Vihiga is particularly tense, as residents hold strong opinions about national leadership and their representatives’ alignment with it.
This incident highlights the intense political atmosphere in Kenya, where public figures can face serious backlash for decisions that are seen as contrary to the will of the people they serve.
Milemba’s situation is not an isolated case, as other politicians have also faced challenges due to their stances on key national issues.
His involvement in supporting contentious policies, including past decisions related to taxes that affected teachers, may have further fueled local frustrations.
