🌟 HISTORIC MOMENT FOR TURKANA 🌟
Today marks a monumental day in Kenya's democratic journey as Dr. Erastus Edung Ethekon from Turkana East (Morulem) has officially been sworn in as the Chairperson of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
Though his appointment was done some months ago, it faced a storm of petitions and resistance from some quarters questioning how a son of the Turkana community — a people wrongly stereotyped as bushmen — could lead such a prestigious national institution. But today, history has spoken. Justice has prevailed. The voice of the marginalized has been elevated.
Dr. Ethekon’s journey is not just a personal achievement but a loud statement of hope, equality, and representation for all communities — especially those from historically marginalized regions like Turkana. His swearing-in today, following gazettement yesterday, confirms that merit, integrity, and leadership have no tribe or geography.
Let this moment inspire every young boy and girl from Turkana and beyond — you too can lead this nation!
Congratulations, Dr. Ethekon! Turkana is proud. Kenya is stronger.
