KITALE:NAMANJALALA ALLUMNI COME TOGETHER,PUSH FOR GIRL READMISSION TO SCHOOL.

Namanjalala Secondary School in Kwanza subcounty is set to revert to a mixed school after consultations and approval by key stakeholders.

On Saturday, while at Superbreak Hotel in Kitale,alumni of the school made a major decision by signing a petition to have girls readmitted to the institution, which was established by the community.

The meeting was led by alumni officials Stanley Siakilo (Chairperson), Caroline Shimunzali (Vice Chairperson), Nicholas Wamalwa (Finance), and Lucy Namwenya (Secretary).

Members unanimously supported the proposal.

The alumni argued that girls were phased out of the school several years ago without an alternative being provided.

They noted that no public participation was conducted before the decision was made.

Simon Mutali, who presented the petition to members for approval, said the current school leadership also confirmed that due process was not followed when girls were removed.

“If proper procedures were not followed to phase out girls, then the action was illegal. Legally, the school remains a mixed school, and girls should be readmitted immediately,” said Nicholas Wamalwa.

Oscar Wafula, who will jointly present the petition with Mutali to the relevant authorities, said girls in the area are forced to travel long distances to access education, exposing them to safety risks.

The decision was reached during the alumni’s first ever get together since the association was formed.

The event was one of its kind, full of excitement, colour, and celebration.

Members enjoyed delicious meals,including kuku kienyeji, ugali, rice, mutton, fish, and a variety of drinks.

More than thirty members attended the event, representing hundreds of alumni who were unable to attend.

Members also discussed welfare matters.

Emmanuel Makheti proposed a monthly contribution to an alumni welfare kitty and increased support for members who may lose close family members.

The proposal was unanimously approved.

Other attendees included Caleb Khisa, who chaired the party committee, Topister Agamera, Ezra Korir, and others.

The alumni agreed to hold their next meeting in December next year.

DR.WAMALWA PLEDGES INCLUSIVE GOVERNMENT AS HE COURTS YOUTH VOTE

Trans Nzoia gubernatorial aspirant Dr. Chris Wamalwa has pledged to enhance development across all the five sub-counties if elected Governor in 2027.

Dr. Wamalwa also assured residents that his administration would be inclusive, calling on all communities in the county to support his bid.

The former Kiminini MP made the remarks while engaging residents in different parts of the county over the weekend.

Speaking at Kachibora Catholic Church in Cherangany, where he enjoys strong support, Wamalwa expressed gratitude to the church and the local community.

He asked the clergy to pray for him as he plans and campaigns to become the third Governor of Trans Nzoia.

The aspirant also visited New Beginning Church in Sikhendu Ward, a day after meeting Catholic youths in the same area during their end of year mentorship workshop.

While addressing the youth, the former legislator urged young people to be courageous and face life positively.

He encouraged them to embrace education, uphold ethical living standards, and actively participate in the ongoing voter registration exercise by registering in large numbers.

> “If elected Governor, I will accommodate some of you in my government and create a conducive environment for youth entrepreneurship, innovation, and business growth,” said Dr. Wamalwa.

He added that the youth should support his candidature because he is development-oriented.

On Saturday, while visiting Mukuyuni SDA Church, Dr. Wamalwa thanked the church for promoting good morals in society.

He called upon the church to continue praying for peace, unity, and development in both the county and the country.

Dr. Wamalwa is making his second attempt at the gubernatorial seat after narrowly losing to Governor George Natembeya in the 2022 elections.

He is perceived to have an upper hand following recent endorsements by elders from his community and a section of the youth.

He is widely remembered for spearheading massive development in Kiminini Constituency, including the construction of school infrastructure, establishment and funding of police posts to enhance security, and issuance of bursaries to students from humble backgrounds.

MP CHRIS WAMALWA INTENSFIES COUNTYWIDE ENGAGEMENTS AFTER LUHYA ELDERS ’ ENDORSEMENT

Former Kiminini MP Dr. Chris Wamalwa intensified his visibility across Trans Nzoia County over the weekend.

Wamalwa, who now enjoys strong backing from Luhya elders following last week’s endorsement, toured various wards to popularize his 2027 gubernatorial bid.

On Friday, the former legislator attended a burial ceremony in Saboti Ward, Saboti Constituency, where he joined mourners in laying to rest KDF officer Oscar Naibei.

He urged residents to pray for him and support his ambition to become governor in 2027.

On Saturday, Wamalwa visited several areas, including Kinyoro Ward, where he condoled with the family of Cliffe Kituyi during his send-off.

He appealed to residents to support his bid, promising a leadership style grounded in service and humility.

“I want to walk together with you. I will humbly listen to you because my leadership style will be service-based,”said Wamalwa.

On Sunday, the gubernatorial hopeful visited several churches, among them Matisi Catholic Church, where he asked the clergy and congregants to pray for him as he makes his second attempt at the county’s top seat.

This renewed activity comes after all Luhya elders including a few who had earlier opposed his endorsement ,united to declare their support for his 2027 bid.

Dr. Wamalwa served as Kiminini MP for two terms, during which he was also the Minority Whip in the National Assembly.

He chaired the Catholic Members of Parliament caucus.

In the 2022 elections, he contested for the Trans Nzoia gubernatorial seat and emerged second after Governor George Natembeya.

TRANS NZOIA:LEGISLATOR NOW GETS ELDERS NOD TO SUCCEED NATEMBEYA.

A Luhya Council of Elders from Trans Nzoia County on Tuesday endorsed former Kiminini MP Dr. Chris Wamalwa for the governor’s seat in the 2027 elections.

The elders, led by Christopher Makokha, the former chairman of the defunct area County Council, described Wamalwa as a capable leader who can succeed Governor George Natembeya in 2027.

Governor Natembeya has declared that he will be engaging in national politics, where he will either contest for the presidency or the deputy presidency.

The endorsement was made during the council’s meeting, which was held at Wamalwa’s Kananachi home in Kiminini Constituency.

Addressing the meeting, Makokha said the discussions also focused on Luhya unity and forgiveness among individuals who may have wronged each other.

He warned that community members should follow all resolutions made by the council if development is to be achieved, noting that it is through the council that good leaders are identified and nurtured.

“As we rally our support for Chris for the county’s top seat, we also ask him to support our initiative of backing Governor Natembeya for the national seat he will be vying for in 2027,” said Ferdinand Wanyisia, an elder.

Wanyisia described Wamalwa as a hardworking and development oriented leader whose time has come.

He added that the council will soon organize meetings that will be attended by all Luhya leaders.

Born in 1974, Wamalwa was first elected MP for Kiminini in 2013 and later re-elected in 2017 on a Ford Kenya ticket.

He also served as Minority Whip in Parliament and Secretary General of Ford Kenya.

His relationship with party leader Moses Wetang’ula, however, deteriorated after the 2022 elections.

Wamalwa thanked the council for the advice and endorsement, adding that he will also engage other communities in his bid to become the next governor.

"My journey to becoming the next governor of Trans Nzoia has begun today. I am going to walk around; I am going to walk with everyone,” he said.

MP WAMALWA INCREASES VISIBILITY ACROSS TRANS NZOIA,AS NATEMBEYA GOES NATIONAL.

The immediate former Kiminini MP, Dr. Chris Wamalwa, is fast regaining his popularity and is now seen as a possible replacement for Governor George Natembeya, who has declared an interest in joining national politics.

Wamalwa emerged second in the 2022 gubernatorial elections and has never openly criticised the Governor’s leadership, even after his defeat.

There is rising speculation that Governor Natembeya may endorse Wamalwa to take over from him an endorsement that would highly boost Wamalwa’s bid to become Trans Nzoia’s third Governor.

Already, the former hardworking legislator has intensified his visibility across all the five sub-counties of Trans Nzoia.

“It is true that in case Natembeya moves to national politics, the way we see him, it is only Chris who is capable of transforming the county to the next level,” said Derrick Wanami, a Kitale-based newspaper vendor.

Governor Natembeya is increasingly stamping his authority as a key political figure in Western Kenya, a trend seen through his involvement in campaigns for the upcoming November 27, by-elections.

The Governor is leading the United Opposition’s campaigns in Malava Constituency, Kabuchai Ward in Bungoma, and Kisa East Ward in Kakamega.

On Saturday, he led a well attended function in Likuyani Constituency to strengthen his national profile.

On the same day, however, Chris Wamalwa attended several funeral functions within Trans Nzoia, including one in Kinyoro Ward, where he enjoys a robust support.

He urged residents to pray for him and support his 2027 gubernatorial bid.

According to a survey carried out last week, Wamalwa’s popularity has risen, with many of Natembeya’s supporters now backing his bid if the current Governor joins national politics.

Those interviewed cited his impressive development record as a legislator, arguing that he deserves an opportunity to lead the county.

He is widely remembered for improving education standards by constructing modern classrooms in Kiminini, issuing bursaries to less privileged learners, and enhancing security through the establishment of several police stations and residential houses.

“Chris is also generous and articulates issues well,” said Joel Kipruto from Kapsitwet in Kwanza Constituency.

Dr. Wamalwa holds a PhD in Leadership, the highest academic qualification.

He was elected on a Ford-Kenya ticket while serving as Kiminini MP, although his relationship with party leader Moses Wetang’ula has been waning.

NATEMBEYA ROADS CECM NOMINEE PROMISES TO IMPROVE ROADS.

A 63 year old teacher by profession and Trans Nzoia CECM nominee has said he qualifies for the job despite not having a university degree.

Zablon Obiri, who holds a Diploma in Education, stated that he is an experienced teacher and will collaborate with technical officers in the department to deliver services.

Governor George Natembeya nominated Obiri for the position of CECM for Roads and Public Works. This follows reports that the current CECM, Channelle Kittony, did not apply for the renewal of her contract.

Leader of Minority and Saboti MCA, Boniface Cheloti, asked the nominee to clarify whether he was aware of the qualifications required for the position.

“I am equal to the task. I have experience. I did well at Kapenguria Boys School, which was my last station before resigning in 2017 to vie for the Kwanza MCA seat, though I was not successful,” Obiri told the appointment committee.

He assured the MCAs that he will utilize the budget prudently by ensuring that road repairs and construction projects are completed to the required standards.

This comes a week after four new CECMs took the oath of office to serve in different dockets as part of the governor’s effort to reconstitute his government. They are Robert Wamalwa (Water and Environment), Kerio Lorot (Health), Pius Gumo (Lands), and Eliud Tormoi (Gender and Youth Affairs).

The CECMs who have applied for contract renewal are Phanice Khatundi (Agriculture), Janerose Mutama (Education), Pepela Wanjala (Finance), Patrick Gacheru (Trade), Sam Ojwang (PSM), and Stanley Kirui (formerly Gender and Youth Affairs). The discretion of their approval or rejection, however, lies with the governor.
