By Mwalimu Amunga AKHANYALABANDU It's now official. CLEOPHAS MALALA is the new secretary General of the ruling UNITED DEMOCRATIC PARTY. The Kakamega ANC PARTY chairman takes the largest and well funded UDA.  Malala is the vibrant youthful leader from Kakamega county who rose from a classroom drama teacher to MCA in Shweywe ward, to leader of minority in KAKAMEGA county assembly and to Senator all under ANC PARTY. He vied for Kakamega county gubernatorial seat but lost. During the Earthquake of Musalia Mudavadi at Bomas it was said that the major groundwork of bringing Weta and Mdvd to Ruto was done by  CLEOPHAS MALALA. It was just a matter of time that president Ruto rewards CLEOPHAS MALALA. And he has done it  The lefting of Malala from ANC PARTY party formerly led by Musalia is big indicator that ANC is winding up. Anyone still sticking on ANC will be equivalent to a fly sticking to a corpse that is being buried. With Musalia Mudavadi gone, Cleo gone, and most LUHYA m

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, Governor Fernandes Bara

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. The explosive audit on the table of the Governor could act as a turning point to his administration depending on how he decides to handle those mentioned.  Governor Barasa it is said is determined to rid the assembly off tainted individuals and this audit could make or break the jinx of his constant call for accounterbility.  Eshikumo2030.blogspot.com has aceessed tons of documents laying bare blatant theft by MCAs some who los

The government has been challenged to clearly explain to Kenyans the current education format following the introduction of Junior Secondary School (JSS).  This confusion has made Westlands Member of Parliament to call on the Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu to clearly and precisely explain the difference between Junior Secondary School and Form One to parents who seem confused.  He spoke as some parents were said to be registering their children for Kenya Certificate of Primary School (KCPE) instead of admitting them to JSS.  “It is still not very clear about this JSS matter. 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 are being admitted into

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. The said groupies are determined to hold Hon Barasa at ransom using past threats, deeds, actions and deals some dating back pre-election.  These individuals are raising their heads in Mumias West and Nairobi and are becoming a bother and a danger to workings of the government going forward.  We have information that their intention is to detract the Governor Honourable Fernandes Barasa from delivering on his mandate and pre election pledges and or concentrate on governing.  The most recent case is that of a Mr. Fred Muka who took over the Liason office in Nairob

DUE TO THE HEATWAVE AND HIGH TEMPERATURES CURRENTLY IN EAST AFRICA, SNAKES, ESPECIALLY COBRAS, SEEK REFUGE IN COOLER PLACES LIKE INSIDE HOMES. SAFETU TIPS: The deadly King cobra 1. Avoid leaving windows open for too long. Cobras and Mambas can reach heights that are very high. 2. Avoid leaving your front doors open for fresh air in the evenings. These reptiles are absolutely STEALTHY (too quiet). You won't hear or see them go inside your house. 3 Before sitting under the tree that has that cooling shade, check the branches that there are no snakes lurking in the branches. 4. Check your bed and surrounding before you go to bed, cobras are notorious for hiding under the sheets. 5. Avoid the age old trend of liking to chill outside of the house, with mattresses and wrappers in the evening. Most reptiles are nocturnal (hunt at night and more effective) The dreaded 40-minutes Killer Black Mamba.  6. Not only snakes might bite you, but also the age old human enemy
