“From Despair to Destiny: Hon. Wambilianga Rescues Dreams of Bungoma’s Daughters”

-

EoK Reports| News Desk 


In a heartfelt demonstration of leadership with purpose, Bungoma Woman Representative Hon. Catherine Wambilianga has once again reaffirmed her commitment to educational empowerment for girls across the county—transforming shattered dreams into stories of hope.


On Monday, the spotlight fell on Sharon Ayieko, a determined and intelligent student from Chesikaki Ward. Studying at Chwele Girls’ High School, Sharon walked into Hon. Wambilianga’s office not just to seek support but to fight for her future. Moved by her courage and resilience, the Woman Rep awarded her a full NGAAF scholarship, pledging not only financial support but personal mentorship through to her Form Four graduation.


“Her dream of becoming a doctor stirs my heart. In a world that desperately needs healers, Sharon’s hands hold the promise to restore lives. I vowed to walk beside her as a mentor and friend,” said Hon. Wambilianga in a public post.

And today, another story of hope unfolded. Juma Shantal, a brilliant student from Ndalu Tabani Ward, was staring at the grim reality of dropping out of school due to lack of fees. A student at Cardinal Otunga High School, her educational journey was hanging by a thread until now.


“We have taken the initiative to fully sponsor her secondary education through to completion,” the Woman Rep announced, “No child should be left behind simply because she cannot afford school fees.”


The NGAAF scholarship program under Hon. Wambilianga’s stewardship is not just a safety net—it’s a springboard for girls from vulnerable and marginalized communities to rise, thrive, and lead.

Investing in Dreams, Building the Future

This isn’t charity. It’s strategic nation-building. With every girl rescued from the cycle of poverty, Bungoma inches closer to a brighter, equitable future. Hon. Wambilianga’s focus on girls’ education echoes global development goals and reflects a deep-rooted belief in the transformative power of education.


As we celebrate these two young women Sharon Ayieko and Juma Shantal we are reminded that when women lead with compassion and courage, entire generations rise with them.

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...
