-
KAKAMEGA Governor FCPA Fernandes Barasa has once again placed Kakamega County on the global map after being honoured with the prestigious People’s Choice Governors’ Excellence Award at the Paris Marriott Charles de Gaulle in Paris, France. 

The award, presented during the global ceremony on Tuesday evening, celebrated governors who have demonstrated integrity, innovation, and transformative leadership. Governor Barasa, who received the Excellence in Infrastructure Development Award, was recognised for his visionary approach to governance, particularly in expanding infrastructure, strengthening public services, and aligning county priorities with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

His leadership was hailed for driving socio-economic transformation through excellence in governance, service delivery, and institutional reforms.

The awards committee singled out Governor Barasa’s impressive milestones, including the construction of 40 kilometres of tarmac roads, 25 bridges, the maintenance of 900 kilometres of all-weather roads, the ongoing 40,000-capacity Bukhungu International Stadium, and the 750-bed capacity Kakamega Level VI Hospital.

In his acceptance speech, Governor Barasa dedicated the award to the people of Kakamega, noting that “infrastructure is not just an enabler for socio-economic development, but rather, its driver.”

Other notable winners from Kenya included H.E. Jeremiah Lomurukai of Turkana County, who received the Social Welfare Award; H.E. Mohamed Adan Khalif of Mandera County, honoured for Excellence in Education Advancement; and H.E. Dr. Kimani Wamatangi of Kiambu County, recognised as a Digital Transformative Leader.

Also honoured at the event were distinguished African leaders, including H.E. Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule, FNSE, Governor of Nasarawa State; H.E. Major General Hisham Ahmed; Abul Nasr, Governor of Assiut Governorate; H.E. Professor Babagana Zulum, Governor of Borno State, Nigeria; H.E. Lt-Gen. Ahmed Khaled Hassan Saeed, Governor of Alexandria Governorate, Egypt; Amr Mohamed Hanafy, Governor of the Red Sea; H.E. Rt. Hon. Sheriff F.O. Oborevwori, Governor of Delta State, Nigeria; and His Excellency Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, Governor of Bauchi State. Their recognition highlighted Africa’s growing commitment to visionary leadership, accountability, and sustainable development across diverse sectors.

The event also offered a platform for networking with global policymakers, diplomats, and development partners, with Governor Barasa paying a courtesy call earlier in the day to Kenya’s Deputy Head of Mission in Paris, Amb. Jane Khasoa Lusenaka. He was accompanied by the County Secretary and Head of Public Service, Dr. Lawrence Omuhaka, and the CECM for Finance and ICT, Mr. Benjamin Andama.
ENDS.

QUESTIONS AS FLAMBOYANT LAWYER KEN ECHESA QUITS. - He cites several reasons as he exits as Gov Barasa's Chief of Staff.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, After extensive consultations and a profound forty-day experience, I have decided to resign from my position as Chief of Staff for Kakamega County. I tendered my resignation to the Governor this morning, wishing him all the best in his future endeavors. In my correspondence, I highlighted the dire state of our medical facilities, emphasizing that to believe our health sector is functioning effectively is to embrace a falsehood. It is my conviction that the Chief Officer of Health is misrepresenting the realities of a system that is, in fact, failing. Furthermore, I urged the Governor to initiate urgent reforms within the Finance Department, ensuring that contractors who have fulfilled their obligations are compensated in a timely manner. It is vital that pending payments for staff, as well as dues for retired ECDE teachers, are settled promptly. Additionally, I called for the immediate remittance of SACCO and tax deductions, as mandated by law. I ...

BUTERE COUNTY HOSPITAL: TOP MEDIC DEMOTED IN CHANGES.

THE long-serving Butere County Medical Superintendent Dr Alfred Ambundo has been demoted and retained at the same facility as mere doctor.  In changes contained in a letter sighned by the CO Health David Alila, the hospital Administrator Dalton Mweresia has been uprooted and taken to Malava Hospital in the same capacity. These changes come in the wake of a report in which bees that had built a nest at the hospital for long periods of time attacked and killed an elderly patient almost three weeks ago. Kakamega Governor toured the hospital to access service delivery twe weeks ago where he met CHPS and visited the Hospital pharmacy where assorted medicine was stocked.  The letter dated 10th July stares that the removed officers were supposed to facilitate smooth handing and taking over. It is hoped the changes will enhance service delivery especially at night and weekends when the facility is said to be empty without staff.  ENDS .

This is a wake up call to ALL serving in the Executive of HE Fernandes Barasa.  In the photo of ghosts resurrected from Oparanya's cabinet, Dr Collins matemba -Left (In pathetic shoes) was powerful CECM Health.  Next is Alfred matianyi ex CECM trade then land. Former POWERFUL Marjority leader and CECM social services then lands Robert kundu is there too.  FORMER Iron lady Reachel Okumu (With rag around her neck) was CECM public service could cough and the corridors of power will shake.  Looking pale is former DG Philip Kutima then George Lutomia CECM Education during those days. No nonsense Kulati wangia ran Agriculture while Geoffrey Omulayi was in roads. Finally Amba Lucas Ochami powerful County Secretary. They have fallen from grace to grass, that's why they can be available at short notice to meet their firmer boss.  My point is when serving in any position, stop the threats, stop the intimidation, serve diligently, if you steal, share t...
