Story by Joel Eshikumo- Head Investigative Desk.  By virtue of being elected or nominated members of the County Assembly, MCAs are by all written laws, prohibited from transacting any kind of business with the house.  By themselves or by extension their families or associates the honorable members must be above board in dealings at the house.  It is however interesting to see that internal controls could be weakened by the house leaders ie The speaker, Marjority /minority leader the Clerk and several people to let go off civility.  Eshikumo2030.blogspot.com  in a civic role lifts the lid and lays bare the roles MCAs both elected and nominated played supplying mostly air and pilfering millions of public funds year in year out.  Below we show the movement of funds to the member's accounts for 'no services' rendered as they walk away with cash in bank notes with glee.  Last week when officially presiding over the opening of the 3rd Assembly, G...

THE Honeymoon appears over for Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa as he settles down for key manifesto service delivery.  For starters, eshikumo2030.blogspot.com has exclusively obtained documents contained in an Audit the Governor is said to have ordered on the past and present workings of the County Assembly.  In clear cases of conflict of interest, Key allies of the Governor among them the current Marjority Leader Filippo Maina using proxy companies were paid thousands of shillings for services not rendered at the assembly.

We want the government, the Education CS to come out and explain how we should progress with this system,” Mr Wanyonyi said.  “We want it to be clear that the system does not interfere and create confusion with the current education system in the country,” he added.  Those in Grade 8 (Standard 8) will be doing their KCPE at the end of the year while those in Grade 7 ...

Editorial by Joel Eshikumo  Managing Editor eshikumo2030.blogspot.com.  THERE is an emerging trend that could destroy or derail the working or the plans of the county Government of Kakamega. At eshikumo2030.blogspot.com, we have information that pockets of threats are starting to grow within individuals, call them crooks who are now claiming "ownership" of Honourable FCPA Fernandes Baraza's government.
