Elizabeth Makokha from Cherang'any sub-county said as women of Ford Kenya, they are proud that the President is keen on promoting their inclusion in governance structures across the appointive positions. However, some party members said that the Health docket should have been given to former Kiminini MP Chris Wamalwa, arguing he is more suited to represent Trans Nzoia. A recent meeting between Dr Wamalwa and his political rival Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya, in Nairobi, with Bishop Emeritus Maurice Crowley sent mixed signals to the Lion party. The former MP who flew the Ford Kenya party flag during the Trans Nzoia governor elections in 2022 lost to Natembeya who vied on the DAP-K ticket. A confidant of Dr Wamalwa, Joseph Pepela, criticized the Cabinet nominations, accusing the party leader and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula, of 'taking members of Trans Nzoia for a ride.' Pepela has since been axed as the county secretary of the Ford Kenya party in Trans Nzoia.
