Vihiga County continues to shine as a beacon of grassroots empowerment, following a powerful sensitization forum spearheaded by Vihiga Woman Representative Hon. Beatrice Adagala in partnership with the Micro and Small Enterprises Authority (MSEA).


The vibrant forum, held in the heart of the county, brought together hundreds of micro and small enterprise (MSE) owners, aspiring youth entrepreneurs, government officials, and development partners with a shared goal—to unlock economic opportunities for the people of Vihiga.


“Our small businesses are the lifeblood of the local economy. Through this forum, we’re not just creating awareness—we’re delivering tools and knowledge that transform lives,” said Hon. Adagala.


The event spotlighted key national programs such as NYOTA (National Youth Opportunities Towards Advancement) and KJET, which are tailored to offer youth and small business owners training, startup capital, mentorship, and market access.



A dedicated MSEA team led by Eng. Edward Karani, Dr. Caroline Kaua, and Mr. Edward Munoru delivered practical guidance on how to tap into these programs, while Mr. Maobe, MSEA’s Vihiga County Coordinator, hailed the innovation showcased by local enterprises as a true testament to Vihiga’s entrepreneurial heartbeat.


In a move that drew applause, Common User Machines—including woodworking, welding, tailoring, and carwash equipment—were distributed to selected MSEs, giving them a direct shot at improved productivity and sustainability.


County Commissioner Madam Florence Sitawa graced the event, commending the initiative and urging locals to take full advantage of the government’s support systems.


“Let us rise together. Empowerment begins with information, then action,” she noted.


With such initiatives, Hon. Adagala is firmly cementing her legacy as a champion for economic transformation from the ground up, ensuring Vihiga’s rise is built on the dreams and hard work of its people.

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.

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...
