Tears and Tributes as Tim Wanyonyi Bids Emotional Farewell to Westlands for Bungoma Governor Race

-

 EoK Reports |Nairobi 


Emotions ran high in Westlands as women leaders and supporters nearly broke down in tears while bidding early farewell to their best and long-serving MP, Hon. Tim Wanyonyi, who has announced his intention to vie for the Bungoma governorship in the 2027 general election.


Wanyonyi, who has served Westlands Constituency for three consecutive terms, expressed gratitude for the unwavering support he has received, saying it was time to respond to the persistent calls from his homeland, Bungoma. 

 

“Westlands has walked with me, believed in me, and together we achieved a lot. But my people in Bungoma are calling, and I feel the duty to return and serve them,” he said.


News of his decision sent ripples across Westlands, prompting concerned residents—especially women—to seek an urgent meeting with the MP to understand his move. Some were visibly emotional, pleading with him to reconsider, while others asked for his guidance on the future political direction of the constituency.

Watch: 


In a heartfelt dialogue, Wanyonyi reassured his constituents that Westlands would remain close to his heart and promised continued collaboration between Bungoma and Nairobi. 


“Where Westlands is today, it will be easier for the next leader to build on the foundation we’ve laid. I’m not abandoning you—I’m expanding the mission,” he said.


One woman tearfully urged the people of Bungoma to receive their son with open arms, describing Wanyonyi as “a professor and doctor of development.” Others, especially those originally from Bungoma but residing in Westlands, vowed to follow his political journey to continue benefiting from his transformative leadership.

Wanyonyi’s campaign message, #SiMimiNiSisi (It’s not me, it’s us), continues to gain traction online and offline, with growing excitement in Bungoma about what many believe could be the county’s long-awaited leap into real transformation.


As 2027 approaches, the spotlight now shifts to Bungoma, where Tim Wanyonyi’s bid is seen as a turning point in the county’s political and developmental narrative.

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.

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...
