She accuses both outlets of defamatory and unverified reporting that tarnished her office. The complaint was announced through a statement on X on Sunday.
The governor says the stations reported falsehoods about events that unfolded in Homa Bay on August 16. KTN aired its broadcast on September 6 while The Standard published its story the following day. Wanga described the coverage as fabricated and highly prejudicial toward her administration.
She pointed to a specific example from The Standard’s front page. The paper published a photo of an armed man carrying a machete. The individual was identified as Nicholas Odhiambo Onyango a Revenue Officer working for Siaya County. Wanga argued this proved outsiders were behind the unrest and not her government.
