This came two days after Wanga launched her bid for the county's top seat in an event graced by a host of ODM leader Raila Odinga's allies including Royal Media Services (RMS) Chairman SK Macharia.
Wanga promised jobs, better education opportunities, improved healthcare and end of corruption, also noting that she will expand the agriculture sector in the county to ensure enough food for the people and more for export.
She pledged to continue with the infrastructure projects President Uhuru Kenyatta started in the region including roads, highways and the boating industry.
"I want to make Homa Bay part of the National grand coalition against corruption. My government will not tolerate corruption because it rips our people of the development that they should get," she said.
