Billed as a silent worker who is in touch with his electorate, Mumias West MP Johnson Naicca is attracting both praise and criticism in uqial measure.  Mbuyu (Fig tree), as he is fondly known in social circles from Buriya to Mumias town targets the voting block but still does not ignore chatterbixes in his dealings.  The MP is seeking re election for a third term a thing that is upsetting his scattered opponents who only want to hang on his age as a campaign tool.  A quick look at the catalogue of activities and tangible projects Audited as available reveals a long list of them, mostly CDF-Funded.  1. Education & Youth Empowerment Hon Naicca has asured that children have a chance to succeed. Bursaries for needy students, transparent and fair distribution Support Early Childhood Development centres (ECD) with desks, books and play materials.

SALUTE TO THE KING: A delegate identified as Benta flashes the two-term finger sigh in Kakamega during Linda ground meeting.

When the late Raila Odinga summoned an ODM Parliamentary Group meeting, the same group defied his call yet again. Instead of upholding party discipline, they cho...

By publicly declaring his intention to contest for Governor of Kakamega in 2027, Deputy Governor AYUB SAVULA is behaving like the proverbial man who seeks to inherit his brother’s wife while that brother is still alive. Traditionally, such conduct is   regarded as immoral and dishonourable. Politically, this declaration signals impatience, impropriety, and a troubling absence of loyalty within the very office he occupies. Governor FERNANDES BARASA is constitutionally and politically eligible for a second term. This fact is neither incidental nor negotiable. It forms the very foundation of orderly leadership and continuity in governance. The role of a deputy governor is not to posture as a rival in waiting. It is to support, defend, and strengthen the governor’s administration until the people themselves pronounce otherwise through the ballot. For a sitting deputy to declare an intention to unseat his own governor before the completion of the first term is a clear a...
