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.

EoK Reports | Nairobi   KRA's Public Notice  In a relief move for millions of Kenyan taxpayers, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has officially announced a waiver of penalties and interest on late filing of 2024 income tax returns, following widespread system interruptions experienced on June 30, 2025 — the original filing deadline. Through a public notice issued Monday, KRA acknowledged the overwhelming last-minute turnout, which led to technical difficulties on its iTax platform, preventing many from filing on time. “We appreciate all taxpayers for the overwhelming turnout in filing 2024 income tax returns. Due to system issues experienced on June 30, a waiver of penalties and interest has been granted,” the authority stated. As a result, KRA has set a new filing deadline of July 5, 2025. Taxpayers now have an additional five days to finalize their returns and settle any due taxes. KRA urged taxpayers to use the extra time to avoid unnecessary penalties, emphasizing that th...

EoK Reports | Vihiga Hon. Dr. Beatrice Adagala leading a Woman Group Beneficiary to test their Poshomill  In the heart of Vihiga County, where every sunset smells of maize roasting and every homestead holds a story told over a plate of ugali, something powerful is taking shape. And no, it’s not a high-rise building or a flashy photo op, it’s the humble sound of a posho mill, gifted by Hon.Dr. Beatrice Adagala to local women groups. But if you listen closely, that grinding sound is louder than politics, it’s the sound of vision, dignity, and economic empowerment. Critics may call it “low key.” But real leaders don’t play to the gallery, they respond to the ground. In Vihiga, like in all Luhya Counties and a bigger percentage of Kenya, ugali is not just food, it’s culture, it’s daily life, it’s economic rhythm. And what better way to plug women into that rhythm than giving them a tool that serves both the stomachs of the people and the wallets of women? This posho mill is not a token...

EoK Reports |Bungoma, Kenya  National Assembly Speaker, Rt. Hon. Moses Wetang'ula  National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has announced a landmark healthcare upgrade in Bungoma County, revealing that the African Development Bank (AfDB) will finance the construction of a Sh8 billion Level Six Referral and Teaching Hospital — a first for the entire Western Kenya region. Speaking at the Bungoma KMTC grounds, Wetang’ula emphasized that the project will not rely on national exchequer funds, adding that the AfDB has already deposited the full amount with the National Treasury, signaling the project’s green light from Cabinet. “This upgrade should not burden public coffers. The hospital will be fully funded by the African Development Bank,” said Wetang’ula. The new facility will provide specialized medical services, putting it on par with other premier national health facilities such as Kenyatta National Hospital and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. Bungoma to Host Region’s Fi...
