Bungoma Governor Ken Lusaka has extended an invitation to AFC Leopards to adopt the newly refurbished Masinde Muliro Stadium in Kanduyi, Bungoma County, as their home ground. Recognizing the club's challenges in securing a dedicated venue that resonates with their Western Kenya fan base, Lusaka emphasized the importance of having a specific home ground, similar to other clubs.


"AFC Leopards needs to have an anchor and should be anchored somewhere as their home. Nairobi belongs to everyone, but just like Manchester United has Old Trafford and Arsenal has Emirates Stadium, they should have a place to call home. Bungoma would be a perfect starting point," Lusaka stated.


He highlighted that the stadium recently met presidential standards during the Madaraka Day celebrations, underscoring its readiness to host top-tier football matches. Lusaka also expressed support for the club's plans to stabilize financially through corporate partnerships, noting the challenges faced by teams without strong financial bases.



"We want a strong financial base for the team to avoid situations where they have to rely on borrowing or seeking financial help," he concluded.

By EoK Editorial : Image//Gov. Lusaka ft. MP. Waluke  Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka has fired back at Sirisia MP John Waluke over his recent claims of corruption in Bungoma County, dismissing them as "r eckless, laughable, and devoid of truth." In response to Waluke’s remarks that Bungoma lacks development and that the county’s garbage collection tender is unnecessary, Lusaka questioned whether the MP was speaking out of “ sheer ignorance ” or deliberately ignoring progress. "It is either that he is blind to reality or simply lacks the capacity to grasp basic civic operations," ~the Governor remarked, pointing to Bungoma’s strides in infrastructure, healthcare, and economic empowerment. Lusaka, however, reserved his harshest words for Waluke’s credibility on corruption, reminding Kenyans of the MP’s infamous past. "If there is anyone least qualified to pontificate about corruption, it is Waluke. This is a man who defrauded Kenyans of maize meant to feed starv...

As the 2027 elections draw closer, political temperatures in Bungoma County are rising. Among those championing the return of former Governor Wycliffe Wafula Wangamati is a vocal supporter, Brendah Okumu, who ails from Maraka Ward of Webuye East Constituency. Brendah strongly believes that Wangamati remains the best choice for Bungoma’s leadership. In a passionate statement, Brendah argued that Bungoma County has stagnated since Wangamati left office, with key projects either stalling or being abandoned altogether. She describes Wangamati as a leader with a vision for the county’s development, contrasting his tenure with the current leadership, which she claims has failed to sustain the momentum. Wangamati’s Legacy, A Record of Development During his tenure as Bungoma’s second governor from 2017 to 2022, Governor Wangamati initiated sever...

By EoK Editorial: Governor George Natembeya before the Senate Committee  Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya is facing intense Senate scrutiny following revelations by the Auditor General that Kitale Referral Hospital’s financial records are in disarray, with Ksh9.4 million withdrawn illegally to fund the county’s participation in the 2023 Devolution Conference. The Senate County Public Investment and Special Funds Committee, led by Senator Godfrey Osotsi (Vihiga), termed the financial mismanagement a blatant violation of public finance laws. The Auditor General’s disclaimer on the 2023/2024 financial statements pointed to missing financial records from previous years, making an accurate audit impossible. “Governor, public funds must be properly accounted for. The Auditor General couldn’t even form an opinion on these statements. This isn’t just an anomaly, it’s a direct indictment of your administration’s financial incompetence,” Senator Osotsi declared during the Senate grillin...
