Ms.Gwendo has been accused of violent outbursts, arrogance and husband snatching.
Before joining politics,she lived with her husband and their son with a salary of less than was earning less than Sh100, 000 which working for a vernacular radio station Ramogi FM until she met Onyango Oloo forr TNA secretart General and now Kisumu County Speaker.
According to Gwendo, “I met Oloo several times after that and we talked a lot about the political scene in Kenya. When he told me he was planning to form a political party to empower the people of Nyanza by giving them an alternative voice, I did not hesitate to join him.”
Her interaction with Oloo saw her campaign for Uhuru Kenyatta’s The National Alliance (TNA) party in Kibera during the 2013 elections an area that is quitean Opposition zone.
But her tenure was characterised by scandals, including arrests over drunk driving and allegations of husband snatching.

“It is true I’m dating Joy and we have known each other for years,” said Mbewa. “It’s been an on and off relationship which my wife knows about and we decided to formalise it” but a family friend said Gwendo had caused the wife sleepless nights and even forced her to move out of her matrimonial home in Madaraka estate, Nairobi.
