In a dramatic turn of events, a group of youth from Ngariam, who were once loyal to Daniel Mulalu and his Kazi ni Kazi movement, have publicly denounced their leader and pledged their support to Hon. Minister Peter Ogwang.
The youth, led by Otim James-Ipii, Obela, Icila, and others, expressed their disillusionment with Mulalu’s aspirations, citing his lack of a clear development agenda for Ngariam. Otim stated, “We are tired of lies, as Kazi ni Kazi doesn’t have a plan for our community’s development.” In contrast, the youth praised Hon. Ogwang’s leadership, describing him as a “God-given gift” for Ngariam and pledged their wholehearted support for him in the 2026 elections.
While welcoming the defectors, the State Minister for Education and Sports, and the Ngariam County MP, Hon. Peter Ogwang, urged everyone in Ngariam to reject individualistic politics and adopt a more holistic approach to community development.
The youth’s defection from Mulalu’s camp to Hon. Ogwang’s is seen as a significant boost to the Minister’s popularity and a testament to his commitment to community development. As the local saying goes, “Einer Ka Aswam,” the people of Ngariam are increasingly recognizing Ogwang’s leadership as a beacon of hope for their community’s progress.
While speaking to residents of Palam Sub-County, Ogwang urged the public to hold their female District Councillor, Hon. Abur Betty, accountable, adding that such leaders should prioritize the welfare of their families while leaving the people they lead behind.
