Governor JAMES ORENGO sets the record straight on speculation over his health - “I’m well but I was in India”



Tuesday, December 30, 2025 - Siaya Governor, James Orengo, has dismissed rumours surrounding his health following recent absence from the public.

Speaking during an interview with a local television station, Orengo insisted that he was in good health and had spent time visiting friends in India while attending to personal matters.

“I am well, but I was in India, in New Delhi, where I spent some time with friends. I then went to Hyderabad, where I also have a number of friends who live there,” he explained.

The Governor noted that his trips to India were not unusual, as he has previously travelled there for both personal visits and medical examinations.

He recalled that years ago, while visiting Chennai, a friend encouraged him to explore Hyderabad, describing it as a modern and rapidly developing city.

Addressing the speculation directly, Orengo confirmed that he underwent routine medical check-ups during his stay, something he said he regularly does in different Indian cities including Chennai, New Delhi and Mumbai.

“While there, I went for medical check-ups, which I normally do.”

“I have gone to Chennai, New Delhi and Bombay before, and it was just that,” he said.

Orengo added that he deliberately chose not to respond to rumours while away, preferring instead to return and let the public judge his health for themselves.

“I thought instead of answering rumours, I should just present myself so that people can make up their own minds,” he concluded.
