On Saturday, March 14, 2026, Wamuchomba took to her official social media platforms to express admiration for Owino’s recent message to Nairobi residents.
She praised the legislator for appealing to voters on the basis of merit and leadership ability rather than ethnic considerations.
According to Wamuchomba, Owino’s message stood out because it focused on competence, vision, and service delivery rather than the tribal politics that have often influenced elections in Kenya.
The outspoken legislator went further to say that if she were a voter in Nairobi, she would personally support Owino in the upcoming race for governor.
