GOVERNOR'S CUP: LEAVE WAZIRI CPA JACKLINE MASICHA ALONE.
The recent criticism directed at CECM CPA Jackline Masicha has been neither fair nor well-intentioned. Framed as concern over competence, it has largely been driven by ill motives and premature judgment, particularly around the Governor's Cup, one of H.E Governor Barasa's key flagship programmes.
Events have since spoken for themselves.
The Governor's Cup finals held at Bukhungu Stadium were executed with exceptional success. The tournament was well organised, attracted overwhelming crowds, and was graced by His Excellency President William Ruto, affirming its national relevance and institutional credibility. This was not a symbolic achievement, but a practical demonstration of leadership, coordination, and delivery under pressure.
Beyond scale and visibility, the programme reflected progressive leadership through the inclusion of new disciplines such as rugby and football for Persons Living with Disabilities (PLWDs) for the first time. This expansion reinforced the Governor's vision of inclusive youth empowerment through sports and positioned Kakamega County as a model of purposeful governance.
The earlier rush to discredit the CECM Masicha reflects a familiar pattern where women in leadership are subjected to exaggerated scrutiny, with administrative processes weaponised to question their legitimacy rather than to improve systems. Such narratives undermine performance and distract from results.
CECM Masicha has not only met expectations, but she has also delivered exceptionally on one of Governor Barasa's major programmes. Leadership must be judged by outcomes, not by noise, speculation, or political mischief.
The youth of Kakamega County deserve both accountability and fairness, and on the Governor's Cup, delivery has been clear, visible, and successful.
To deliver, Ministers need peace not criticism from every Jonny-come lately on social media or in safe spaces.
Women in leadership will continue to deliver, even in the face of unfair criticism, and those efforts will continue to be recognised and defended. ✊
