Hon. Peter Salasya//Hon. George Natembeya 


Presidential candidate and Mumias East MP Peter Salasya has launched a scathing attack on Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya, all elected on a DAP-K party ticket, accusing him of advancing politics driven by personal interest and tribal cards rather than addressing pressing economic challenges facing his county.


In a strongly worded statement, Salasya expressed disappointment in Natembeya, whom he described as a friend, for prioritizing divisive rhetoric over real development.


“My brother, you are the governor of Trans Nzoia, and Kitale town alone is bleeding with jobless youths at Matisi. What have you done to create job opportunities other than employing goons in town?” Salasya posed.


The outspoken legislator challenged Natembeya to account for the number of graduates he has helped secure jobs, the cottage industries he has established, and the meaningful sports infrastructure he has developed to uplift the county’s youth.


“Sports is a devolved function. How many football academies have you set up, yet Kitale is home to football champions like St Joseph’s and St Anthony’s? How many stadiums have you improved?” Salasya asked.


He further criticized Natembeya’s alleged profiling of other communities in national politics, arguing that such narratives undermine unity and perpetuate historical injustices.


“We must be realistic. We as a community have not always embraced education fully, and you cannot expect a watchman or maid to become a CS overnight. We want a country where opportunities are shared equally based on competence,” Salasya said.


Salasya emphasized that his remarks were not meant to pick a fight but to offer constructive criticism and defend the vision of a united, inclusive Kenya.


“I don’t do local politics of Western. I am a national leader, and I believe in politics of development, not cheap tribal propaganda,” he concluded.


The remarks by Salasya are expected to ignite heated debate, especially as both leaders gear up for higher political stakes in the coming years with the DAP-K Party seemingly nearing it's dead end, a party under Eugene Wamalwa.

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...

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...
