Hon. Grace Sundukwa

Sitikho Ward MCA , Hon. Grace Sundukwa has declared her intention to vie for the Bungoma County Woman Representative seat in 2027, promising to return the office to its original mission of serving and empowering women and youth.


Born and raised in Ngwelo village, deep in Sitikho Ward, Sundukwa’s leadership journey reflects resilience and a deep-rooted connection with her community. A teacher by profession and a seasoned grassroots mobilizer, she is widely known for her hands-on approach visible throughout her tenure as MCA — often walking from village to village to listen to residents' concerns directly.


Sundukwa criticized what she described as the loss of purpose within the Woman Representative office, accusing the incumbent and those who held it before of using the seat for personal gain rather than community empowerment.


“This seat was designed to uplift women and marginalized groups, not to serve as a personal political ladder,” Sundukwa said. “I have seen how other counties have benefited from visionary women leaders. We can do the same here in Bungoma.”


If elected, Sundukwa plans to channel the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) into impactful projects, including economic empowerment for women’s groups, scholarships and mentorship programs for girls, and support for small-scale women farmers.


She emphasized that Bungoma’s women and youth have been sidelined for too long and promised a leadership style grounded in accountability and transparency.


Political analysts see Sundukwa’s candidature as a major shake-up in Bungoma’s 2027 politics, with expectations that she will appeal to voters seeking a shift from traditional, personality-driven politics to results-focused leadership.


Sundukwa has also hinted at forging networks with like-minded women leaders across the country to share ideas and replicate best practices, ensuring Bungoma does not lag behind in women’s empowerment.


Her supporters believe she represents a refreshing alternative and a chance to reclaim the seat for the people of Bungoma.


As the county gears up for the next general election, all eyes will be on how Sundukwa’s grassroots popularity and proven record of service influence the dynamics of the Woman Representative race.

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.

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...
