A lighthearted yet widely shared moment unfolded in Migori County when Junet Mohamed and Governor Gladys Wanga were seen excitedly rushing to board the presidential helicopter ahead of William Ruto.
In a clip that has since gone viral, the two leaders appeared in high spirits as they hurried toward the chopper, with Junet Mohamed audibly remarking, “Wanakimbilia pawaa!”—a phrase that loosely translates to “They are rushing for the airlift!”

The moment, captured during the President’s tour of the region, has sparked amusement online, with many Kenyans interpreting it as a rare display of camaraderie and spontaneity among political leaders who are often seen in more formal settings.
Observers noted that such interactions highlight the human side of politics, where even high-ranking officials occasionally share unscripted, relatable moments away from the usual protocol.
The incident comes amid ongoing political engagements across western Kenya, where leaders from different affiliations have been interacting during development tours and public events.
While largely humorous, the clip has quickly gained traction on social media, with users sharing memes and commentary, turning the phrase “wanakimbilia pawaa” into a trending expression online.
