In a powerful show of leadership and grassroots mobilization, Vihiga Woman Representative Hon. Beatrice Adagala hosted the Wezesha Mama, Inua Jamii empowerment forum at the Mbale Municipal Grounds, reaffirming her commitment to uplifting women and families through inclusive socio-economic programs.


Backed by the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF), the event brought together hundreds of women’s groups from across Vihiga County who received economic empowerment cheques, water tanks, sewing machines, and other crucial tools to strengthen livelihoods and boost community self-reliance.


“Wezesha Mama, Inua Jamii is not just a slogan — it is a call to action to equip women with the resources they need to build resilient homes and thriving local economies,” said Hon. Adagala.


The high-profile event saw the attendance of several influential leaders including Deputy Speaker Hon. Gladys Shollei, and Woman Representatives from across Kenya: Hon. Liza Chelule (Nakuru), Hon. Rael Aleutum (West Pokot), Hon. Jerusha Momanyi (Nyamira), Hon. Esther Passaris (Nairobi), Hon. Rebecca Tonkei (Narok), Hon. Caroline Ngelechei (Elgeyo Marakwet), Hon. Prof. Phylis Bartoo (Moiben), Hon. Maryanne Keitany (Aldai), Hon. Fatuma Masito (Kwale), Hon. Doris Donya (Kisii), Hon. Beatrice Kemei (W. Kericho), Hon. Florence Jematia (Baringo), Hon. Ruth Odinga (Kisumu), Hon. Joyce Bensuda (Homa Bay), and Hon. Christine Ombaka (Siaya).


Speaking at the event, Hon. Adagala emphasized that empowering women is the foundation of long-term development and that NGAAF remains a transformative tool in bridging inequality and enhancing the quality of life for marginalized communities.


“This is what people-centred leadership looks like. When women rise, the whole community rises,” she affirmed.



The Vihiga edition of the Wezesha Mama, Inua Jamii platform marks another milestone in Adagala’s legacy of delivering tangible results for the people of Vihiga, especially women at the grassroots.

As she eyes the top county seat come 2027, her record puts her ahead of competitors by far. As to weather she becomes Vihiga Governor or not, ONLY TIME WILL TELL!

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...
