EoK Reports | 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 yout...

EoK Reports| Newsroom EoK Editorial// Wangamati, Barasa & Wanyonyi A political storm is brewing in Bungoma as the race for the 2027 gubernatorial seat takes a dramatic and unexpected turn with the entry of Westlands MP Hon. Tim Wanyonyi. In a high-stakes meeting held yesterday, eight out of nine Bungoma MPs met with Wanyonyi, strongly signaling their intention to rally behind him for the county's top seat. Only Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa was absent — and for good reason: Barasa himself has been eyeing the same seat and has already received endorsements from Speaker Moses Wetang’ula and current Governor Ken Lusaka. The MPs who threw their weight behind Wanyonyi include Fred Kapondi (Mt. Elgon), John Waluke (Sirisia), Majimbo Kalasinga (Kabuchai), Dan Wanyama (Webuye West), Martin Pepela (Webuye East), John Chikati (Tongaren), Wanami Wamboka (Kabuchai), and another strong team of local leaders.

Kahai Beatrice Adagala  The political drums in Vihiga are already beating ahead of 2027—and two of the county’s most influential voices have caught the public's eye with a surprisingly warm political exchange. Hon. Kidake Alex Malova, known for his grassroots mobilization and eloquence, has hinted at deeper ambitions as the county gears up for the next political cycle.

Beatrice Adagala, who has already declared her gubernatorial interest. “There will be no conflict between my dear sister Hon. Adagala and me. She is our sister, and we love her. She recognizes my abilities, and when the right time comes, I am confident she will support me. We understand that UDA intends to give the ticket to Hon. Omboko. Now is the time for our people to unite and claim what rightfully belongs to them,” said Kidake....

Julius Masinde, a former senatorial candidate and advocate for heightened senatorial standards. Masinde's recent expressions of disappointment towards the current senator shed light on the pressing need for enhanced representation in the Senate, urging the people of Bungoma to elevate their expectations and demand accountability from their elected officials. The heart of Masinde's concerns lies in the multifaceted role of the county senator and the perceived lack of engagement and effectiveness in fulfilling these responsibilities. He emphasizes the pivotal role of the senator in driving development initiatives, advocating for the needs of the county, and championing legislative reforms that directly impact the lives of Bungoma residents. However, Masinde laments the apparent disconnect between the current senator and these fundamental duties, highligh...

  Photo Courtesy: Hon. Didmus Barasa, Kimilili MP In Bungoma, amidst constant factors, the race for the county leadership is quietly being won, driven by evident factors. Furthermore, potential competitors to Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa are confident that the local system may undermine the vibrant MP, serving as a through pass, "TABA!" Following the 2017 general elections, the then Deputy President, now President, Dr. William Ruto, harbored ambitions of leading Kenya. Rumors suggest that the duo (UhuRuto) had signed an MOU prior, with President Uhuru Kenyatta supporting Ruto's ambitions. However, with the handshake and subsequent shifts, allegiances changed. William Ruto, a political master planner, wasted no time initiating his campaigns, preparing for an uncertain future. Despite calls to focus on his duties as DP, he proceeded cautiously. Eventually, the system attempted to thwart his ambitions, but it was too late. During this period, Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa was an at...
