  EoK Reports | Hon. Tim Wanyonyi, Bungoma Gubernatorial hopeful  “I Am Tim, Judge Me As Tim” In a highly anticipated live interview on Sulwe FM today, Westlands MP Hon. Tim Wanyonyi laid bare his heart and vision for Bungoma, officially committing his future to the county as he sets his eyes on the 2027 gubernatorial seat. Introducing himself simply as “Tim,” the seasoned legislator urged the people of Bungoma to judge him purely on his own record, not through the lens of any family ties, past political alliances, or even his current party, ODM, where he is serving his third term as Westlands MP.   “I do not come to blame anyone for what they did or did not do. I come to do what I can as Tim, to take Bungoma to greater heights,” he stated with a calm conviction that left listeners glued to their radios. When questioned on why he chose to meet MPs and MCAs before addressing the general public, Tim explained with humility and respect that even though Bungoma is his home, h...

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 | Bungoma  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,” Sundu...

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.
