Outspoken and not one to be a wallflower, Gladys Wanga epitomises resilience and grit in the world of politics. CAROLINE OKELLO spent one hour with the politician to get a glimpse of who she is.
Her laugh alerts me that she is in the room, loud and unabashed, drawing my attention and that of everyone else in Parliament’s guest lounge. Gladys Wanga is sharing a light moment with two companions, and when she is finally free of them and walks up to me, a smile lingers. The laugh will come again when I ask her what questions she hates being asked, and again when she thinks back to her favourite childhood memories. It will come during the photo session when the photographer tells her to put a serious face on. It’s infectious every time.
