I Have Not Done Any Business with William Ruto’s Government - Millicent Omanga.

Former Nominated Senator Millicent Omanga has dismissed claims that she has conducted business with the government since President William Ruto took office.

Speaking on Wednesday, April 8, Omanga challenged anyone making such claims to provide evidence, including any tender applications linked to her or companies she controls.

“I have never done any business with William Ruto’s government. If I have, let them provide proof of what they claim I have done from 2022 up to now, showing any company linked to me that has supplied goods to State House or any ministry. They should even produce the tender application if one exists,” Omanga stated.

Her clarification comes weeks after she left the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and joined former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s Democratic Change Party (DCP).

Omanga was officially welcomed into the party on Thursday, March 19, by Gachagua and Cleophas Malala.

During the event, Gachagua described Omanga as a leader of integrity who is committed to improving the livelihoods of Nairobi residents.

“Does Millicent Omanga look like somebody who can be bought? No one elected under the DCP ticket will be bought after the election,” he said.

Omanga also apologized to Nairobi residents for previously supporting President Ruto, whom she accused of failing to keep promises made before the 2022 General Election.

“I am asking for your forgiveness for thinking that the UDA wheelbarrow was going somewhere, but I was wrong. He lied to all of us,” she said.

She added that her fallout with President Ruto, announced on March 28, stemmed from what she described as betrayal.

Omanga cited unfulfilled commitments, including the women’s charter signed by Ruto, the pledge for a 50:50 gender balance in government appointments, the provision of free sanitary towels for schoolgirls, and free diapers for women delivering in public hospitals.
