According to a statement attributed to Orengo by Full Network Media on social media, the governor alleged that Opiyo Wandayi had previously been arrested and accused in connection with a murder case.
Orengo, who is a lawyer by profession, claimed that he took up the matter and successfully defended Wandayi in court, leading to his release.

The remarks have since generated heated debate across social media platforms, with many Kenyans questioning whether the claims are true and calling for more information regarding the alleged case.
Others have expressed surprise at the governor's statements, while some have urged caution until the claims are independently verified.
