Hon. Mary Biketi acknowledging supporters greetings 

Mary Biketi, widely recognized for her association with former Kakamega Governor & CS for Co-operatives and SMEs Wycliffe Oparanya, is making significant strides in the political arena as she eyes the Trans-Nzoia Woman Representative seat. Her transition from a private figure to a public political contender has been both swift and impactful, capturing the attention of many and unsettling established political players in the region.

Biketi's political journey began with her vocal opposition to the Finance Bill 2024, where she passionately highlighted the struggles of ordinary Kenyans. In a heartfelt video, she stated:

"I urge you to consider the bill and the welfare of the people who elected you into power and trusted you with the mandate to make beneficial decisions on their behalf. The proposed tax increment will certainly worsen the existing poverty, deepen our suffering and intensify desperation that may make people seek less than honourable means to survive."

This stance resonated with many, positioning her as a voice for the marginalized and setting the stage for her political ambitions.

Despite facing personal scrutiny due to her relationship with CS Oparanya, Biketi has remained undeterred. She addressed the public attention with grace, emphasizing her love to the CS, respect for Oparanya's already established family and her commitment to her path.

"I already know myself and the relationship I’m in. Those who want to talk will talk even after clarifying."

Her resilience and focus have only strengthened her appeal among constituents seeking authentic and dedicated leadership.


As the political landscape in Trans-Nzoia evolves, Biketi's emergence introduces a fresh dynamic. Her grassroots approach, coupled with a clear understanding of the challenges faced by residents, positions her as a formidable contender. Observers note that her candidacy is causing unease among established politicians, signaling a potential shift in the county's political narrative, with the Woman Rep seat becoming a hot beat.

“WALUKE THE LEAST QUALIFIED TO PONTIFICATE ON CORRUPTION” – GOVERNOR LUSAKA TEARS INTO SIRISIA MP

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...

Natembeya Under Fire as Senate Probes Ksh9.4M Kitale Hospital Fund Misuse

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...
