Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma has asked ODM to put in place measures to check the performance of governors elected on its ticket. Kaluma said some of the governors had demonstrated laxity in service delivery.

He cited Homa Bay Governor Cyprian Awiti whose performance he described as "shameful". 

“The mechanism will help put ODM elected leaders on toes in implementation of development projects,” Kaluma said.

He said non-performing governors would give the party a difficult time when campaigning for re-election.

But Awiti dismissed the MP, saying he is only campaigning for the governor's seat ahead of 2022.
