WETANGULA:JIRONGO’S DEATH AFFECTED ME DEEPLY.

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has distanced himself from social media claims and attacks over the death of former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo.

Wetang’ula asked security agencies to carry out thorough investigations to establish whether the accident that killed Jirongo was planned.

He described Jirongo as a close friend and said his death affected him deeply.

Wetang’ula spoke on Tuesday during the send-off ceremony of the former Cabinet minister in Lumakanda, Lugari.

“I was in Kampala on December 6 when Jirongo called me. I told him we would meet after I returned. On December 12, we met in Karen and discussed many issues,” said Wetang’ula.

He said he was shocked to learn the following morning that Jirongo had been involved in a fatal accident.

Wetang’ula said Jirongo was very open and honest.

“When he had no money, he would face you and ask for help. When he later had money, he would tell you, ‘I have Sh2 million, take one and I keep one.’ That is the kind of person Jirongo was,” he said.

He also revealed that Jirongo funded his homecoming ceremony after he was nominated as a Member of Parliament in 1992.

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta described Jirongo as a man who had the potential to become President of Kenya.

FORMER MP KIRWA SAYS JIRONGO BOUGHT HIM LAND AS LEADERS REMEMBER HIS GENEROSITY.

Former Cherangany MP and former Agriculture Cabinet Minister Kipruto Kirwa revealed that former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo helped him buy land.

He spoke during a memorial service held at Jirongo’s home in Kitale.

Kirwa said that at the time as a member of Parliament, he earned only Sh18,000 per month.

He said he could not raise money to pay for the 100 acres he had been allocated.

Kirwa said Jirongo gave him Sh1.6 million, which he used to pay for the land.

Kirwa was the master of ceremony at the event.

He said he has never seen a politician as kind and generous as Jirongo in Kenya.

Former Webuye MP Joash Wamang’oli also praised Jirongo.

He said Jirongo was the most generous leader Western Kenya has ever had.

Wamang’oli said Jirongo always gave freely to people.

He said Jirongo could give out all he had and remain with nothing.

Other leaders at the event said Jirongo had great love for the Luhya community.

Former Westlands MP and former Regional Development Minister Fred Gumo urged Luhya MPs to support people in need.

He said leaders should act instead of only making promises.

Gumo said many people fail to get jobs because they lack connections. He asked leaders to help people find employment.

He said that even 13 years after retiring, people still call him seeking help.

Jirongo’s close friend Fred Ameyo said Jirongo officially had three wives.

He said Jirongo paid dowry for Anne Kanini, Christine Nyokabi and Anne Lonoi.

He said all Jirongo’s children were known and were introduced to all the wives.

Former Nairobi County Clerk Philip Kisia said he and Jirongo had planned a major political return starting in January.

He said the plan will go on despite Jirongo’s death to honor his vision.

Former Vihiga Senator George Khaniri asked the government to carry out a full investigation.

He said it should be clear whether Jirongo’s death was planned.

Kiminini MP Kakai Bisau, politician Naomi Okul, Pius Gumo and Robert Wamalwa were among those who attended the memorial.

KITALE:NAMANJALALA ALLUMNI COME TOGETHER,PUSH FOR GIRLS 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.
