MP Mwambu Mabonga Trashes Raila’s ‘Fake Promises’ To Mulembe People

by Pauline Waswa
written by Pauline Waswa

Bumula MP Mwambu Mabonga has called out ODM leader Raila Odinga over what he termed as his empty promises to the people of Western Kenya.

Speaking at Mianga market during a Kenya Kwanza Alliance rally, Mwambu alleged that the former premier played a key role in bringing down Mumias Sugar Company.

Mabonga claimed that Raila is part of those who squandered the cash meant to operate the once giant miller.

This comes a day after Azimio La Umoja coalition held a rally in Bungoma led by its presidential candidate Raila Odinga.

He went further to say that Raila is not a farmer and that’s why he cannot relate to the problems that face the farmers in western region.

“Raila was here two months ago and he promised that by the time the farmers from this region begin preparing their farms for planting season, the fertilizer prices would have gone down two the normal price, yesterday he was in Bungoma and he didn’t mention a thing about it, “he said.

Mabonga went ahead to say that the handshake government is busy using the funds meant for the fertilizer to form political parties all over the country which after the election will be compressed under Jubilee instead of using the funds to benefit the citizens.

He went on to rubbish Mukhisa Kituyi’s move to pull his weight behind Raila Odinga after dropping his presidential bid saying that he doesn’t have any influence there for he is unable to pinpoint one standing project that he has done for the people of western.

“That is an old man who has no agenda for this country and that’s why we should decide as one come 9th of August to send him home,” he said.

Gatundu South Member of Parliament and the Chama Cha Kazi Party leader Moses Kuria has opened opened up that he is headed to Deputy President William Ruto’s camp.

Taking to his official Facebook account this morning, the lawmaker said his party and 21 other political parties are in early talks with Kenya Kwanza Alliance ahead of the August polls.

“This is to inform Kenyans that Chama Cha Kazi Party and 21 other political parties are in early talks with the Kenya Kwanza Alliance that will lead to a very broad based grand coalition that will deliver the nation to peace and prosperity. Details to follow,” he posted.

This comes just days after he said that the Azimio la Umoja camp is not an option for him.

His party has scheduled its National Delegates Conference on March 15.

Deputy President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) is set to have his NDC on the same date.

Moses Kuria’s NDC will be held at the Bomas of Kenya while DP Ruto’s camp will hold theirs at the Kasarani indoors arena.

The Kenya Kwanza Alliance so far has UDA, the Moses Wetang’ula-led Ford Kenya and the Musalia Mudavadi-led Amani National Congress (ANC) as affiliate parties.

Do you think Moses Kuria’s entrant will re-energize the Kenya Kwanza Alliance?

“We Don’t Need You To Win The August Polls, ” Wamunyinyi Tells Off Kalonzo

by Pauline Waswa
written by Pauline Waswa

Kanduyi member of parliament Wafula Wamunyinyi who adds up as the party leader of the Democratic Action Party Kenya (DAP-K) has said that the Azimio La Umoja coalition does not need Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka to win the August presidential election.

Wamunyinyi told off Kalonzo, noting that ODM leader Raila Odinga does not need his support to become the next President of Kenya.

Speaking while giving out a 30 million bursary to help the less fortunate students in his constituency at the CDF offices, Wamunyinyi said that the DAP-K party is fully in AZIMIO and Kalonzo should not drag things from the past to cause havoc in the coalition.

He went ahead to ask the former vice president to declare his stand.

The law maker said that Kalonzo is aware that NASA died a long time ago and he should not use the agreements that were made there and apply them on AZIMIO.

According to Wamunyinyi, Kalonzo played a key role in demolishing NASA and he shouldn’t move forward from that.

“We all know that Baba is going to win these elections with or without Kalonzo. We just accepted him because we want to move forward together as a country. He should not bring up conditions because we already resolved and we already know that our presidential candidate is Raila,” he said.

This comes days after Kalonzo claimed that while in NASA, they had an agreement document dubbed “NASA DEAL” which stated that Raila was to pull his weight behind Kalonzo in 2022 weather he wins or not, as a presidential candidate and it was effective until 2022 and now Raila should honor the agreement and let him take over as a presidential candidate.

Wamunyinyi went further to say that by Kalonzo standing in between the 2007 election, it made it difficult to determine the president which led to post election violence asking him to stop being undecided and join whatever side he wants so that the country can have peaceful elections.

written by Pauline Waswa

Bungoma MCAs led by the majority leader Joseph Nyongesa have today endorsed Senate speaker Ken Lusaka for the county’s top seat.

The MCAs say that the county’s first governor has what it takes to put Bungoma county in a good place once again.

Speaking at the Ken Lusaka command Centre in Bungoma town, the 35 MCAs said they will support Lusaka since he is capable of reviving the economy and the normal functioning of Bungoma county.

The County has a total of 45 wards in its 9 constituencies.

Lusaka is set to be received officially by Ford Kenya as the party’s gubernatorial aspirant on 11th March at Bungoma Posta grounds.

The majority leader Joseph Nyongesa said that they will pull their weight behind Lusaka and support him fully to see him win the elections come 9th of August this year.

His sentiments were echoed by Elizabeth Tindi, Tongaren MCA saying that during Lusaka’s regime, the number of bags of fertilizers distributed to the farmers was 700 and now it is only 300 saying that the county is directing the funds that are meant to help the residents on unimportant things.

Lwandanyi MCA Tony Barasa also campaigned for Lusaka saying that many projects have stuck since Governor Wycliffe Wangamati took over.

He noted that it is just wise for the people of Bungoma to vote in Lusaka for the second time so that he can come in and finish the projects that he started as the first governor of Bungoma.

“Many projects have stalled since Wangamati came in and we are certain that Lusaka is coming to complete them”, he said.

The MCAs said that they have resolved to spread the gospel to every resident of Bungoma county and with that, they are set to have several rallies in every subcounty.

Gidjoy Manager Fails To Explain Contradicting Police Report

by Daily Trends
written by Daily Trends

Gidjoy Investment Operations Manager has failed to explain to court why the incident report of an attack on their property in Donholm says the report was made at Savanna base and not Buruburu police station as he alleged.

Mark Munge testified during examination in chief that after receiving a call from his head of security informing him that they were under attack, he called Buruburu police station and told the guard to do the same.

Giving his testimony before Principal Magistrate Gibert Shikwe, Munge testified that he called the OCS Buruburu and reported the matter.

“On 27th March 2018, he received a call from Dickson Nyairo, the security in charge saying that they were being attacked by Patrobas (one of the accused persons) and his group. I told him to call the police,” said Munge.

Munge testified that he recorded his statement on the same day at 5 PM.

The defense lawyer also pointed out that the crime and incident report also shows it was reported at 10.30 AM and not 8AM as the manager claimed.

The court heard that the manager has worked for the land selling company since 2012 and had been authorised by one of the directors, Gideon Muriuki, the CEO Cooperative Bank of Kenya, to testify on behalf of the company.

Munge said that he received the call at about 7.45 and visited the property at 9 am.


According to the witness, when he got there, he went inside the said land together with the guards and found that about 100 meters of the wall had been destroyed.


“We had a fence of wooden poles and wires around the 7 acre land. The damage was valued at about Sh 144,000,” Munge testified.

The court further heard that the land has been subdivided into 36 parcels.

In the case, 10 Sawesava group members are charged with malicious damage of a perimeter wall belonging to Gidjoy.


The accused perons are Benita Alando Nailanel, Peter Keya Owino, David Mutuku Makau, Kennedy Odhiambo Alex, Titus Ochieng Okoth, Boniface Oduor Anyiego, Calvince Ochieng Ooko, Patrobas Awino (group secretary), Nick Omondi Owango and Philemon Otieno are charged with malicious damage of the said fence.

Sowesava Self-help group and Gidjoy Investment have been in logger heads over the ownership of the said land.

Both parties claim to possess title deed as proof of ownership.

The High Court ordered the parties not to interfere with the said land until the hearing and determination of the case.

Munge also testified that the property had been invaded before, about three days before the March 27 attack where again the fence was damaged.

“About three days before, on 24th March 2018 we were attacked again by unknown people,” the witness added.

In addition, the court was told that the witness was named as the victim of the offence and not Gidjoy Investment, a company associated with Muriuki and wife Joyce.

Questioned on which plots the fence was damaged, the witness said he was not sure of the same.

During cross-examination by the sixth accused who did not have legal representation, the court heard that the Operations Manager had nothing to prove that the wall was erect the day before the alleged damage.

The court further heard that the Manager did not know who attacked them on 24th March yet is indicated in the charge sheet that it was the accused persons.

Maendeleo Ya Wanawake Endorses Azimio, Pushes For More Strategic Leadership Positions

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Maendeleo Ya Wanawake Organisation, a women’s NGO that deals with issues to do with women’s rights and gender equity in Kenya is pushing for more strategic leadership positions in the next government.

This is aimed at powering up economic devolution as it begins countrywide celebrations to mark its 70th anniversary.

The organization which boasts of over 4 million members across the country has endorsed the Azimio La Umoja Coalition for the next government.

The organization’s leadership has affirmed while it has the capacity to influence the outcome of the presidential elections, Women must be placed in positions where they will be able to make greater contributions in governance and political revolution.

“We will give them votes. It is these women who will cast their votes for Azimio but these women need to be paid,” said Maendeleo Ya Wanawake Organisation Chairperson HSC, Rahab Muiu.

She spoke at Bukhungu Stadium, Kakamega County where the organization held its first nationwide celebrations. Other celebrations will be held in Central, Eastern, Nyanza,Coast, North-Eastern, Riftvalley and Nairobi regions over the next two months.

“We’ve heard there is going to be economic devolution. It has to start with women,” said Muiu.

Over the last 7 decades, several women have had an opportunity to lead and have made tremendous contributions in the country and beyond.

Among these women recognized by the Ministry of Public Service, Gender, Senior Citizens Affairs and Special Programmes include current active members, patrons and leaders of the organisation such as Her Excellency, Mama Ngina Kenyatta, Dr. Jane Kiano, Hon. Phoebe Asiyo, Grace Onyango-first Kisumu Female Mayor, Dr. Julia Ojiambo, Hon. Sen. Zipporah Kittony, Mrs. Joan Mjomba, Mama Shitaka.

“These are the pathfinders who broke the glass ceiling and, on whose shoulders, we stand on today,” said Ministry of Public Service, Gender, Senior Citizens Affairs and Special Programmes Cabinet Secretary, Prof. Margaret Kobia.

Prof. Kobia has credited the country’s improved access to health, education and life expectancy and wellbeing to these trailblazing women leaders.

“Part of this success can be attributed to the work that is done by Maendeleo Ya Wanawake Organisation,” said Prof Kobia.

According to the Gender Development Index that measures a country’s access to education, health, life expectancy and wellbeing (WEC 2020), Kenya has improved from position 118 in 2018 to position 95 in 2020 out of 186 countries evaluated.

Kobia paid a special tribute to the women pioneers and trailblazers who have continued to lead the organisation in ‘a very challenging environment.’

Sports Cabinet Secretary, Ambassador Amina Mohamed called on the country to start building systems and developing pro-women policies that will protect women and ensure equality and gender representation. “We must now revisit and do away with the remaining challenges affecting women and systems that are no longer helpful to us,” said Ambassador Amina.

by Pauline Waswa
written by Pauline Waswa

Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula has lashed out at President Uhuru Kenyatta for imposing a president of his choice to the people.

The Ford Kenya party leader while speaking at Ford Kenya offices in Bungoma told the head of state to focus on finishing his term and retire peacefully.

Wetangula who had met Ford Kenya aspirants from Bungoma said that President Kenyatta should dare to embrace politicking above tribes and community asking him to pave way for the Kenyans to choose the leader of their choice.

This comes barely hours after the Sagana 3 meeting whereby President Kenyatta openly declared his support for ODM leader Raila Odinga.

“Take the example of your predecessor the former president Mwai Kibaki, when he finished his term he let Kenyans decide on who to be their President and God gave you the grace to be and so you should also do that and let the people decide, ”he said.

Wetangula went further to say that the constitution does not grant Uhuru the power and the authority to impose a puppet on Kenyans telling him to stop using the public resource in support of his own choice.

“Mr. President stop using public resources to determine your successor because am sure the Sagana meeting spend public resources. If there is public resources to play public politics then access that money to everyone and let us fight, ”he said.

Bumula MP Mwambu Mabonga Dares Critics To Take Him To Court

by Pauline Waswa
written by Pauline Waswa

Bumula member of parliament Moses Mwambu Mabonga has called out his competitors seeking to unseat him to stop telling lies on his legacy.

The Deputy President William Ruto ally while speaking at an event held at Cardinal Otunga Technical Training Institute told his critics to head to court should day have a complain on how he has managed funds meant for his constituents.

The lawmaker was disbursing a 30 million cheque to university, middle level colleges and high school students in his constituency.

He said that people are using propaganda seeking to be elected instead of them getting their facts right.

“If someone is saying that the money in this constituency cannot be accounted for and he is seeking to be elected as a leader, he should be wise enough to seek the intervention of the court as a good leader and for a person to win or lose a case they should have witnesses and evidence, if they have the two then what is holding them to do so,” he said

He went further to campaign for the United Democratic Party (UDA) saying that the hustler nation can relate to the problems that the common people have and people should instead assume the other parties and focus on supporting the deputy president William Samoei Ruto.

Mwambu went ahead to ask the president to finish his term peacefully and pave the way for the next president that will be elected by the people instead of imposing his choice to the people.

“President Uhuru Kenyatta does not have the interests of the people at heart and that’s why he is much focused to meet his own interests by imposing his president of choice to the people so that it can benefit him. We really fought away the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) and we won’t allow an imposed president too, “he said

He also asked the residents to refuse being manipulated and used by the politicians to engage in rowdiness during this campaign season.

How My First Job Interview Gave Me A Well Paying Job As A News Presenter In A Big Media House In Kenya

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

I am a graduate having studied Journalism in the largest Media University in Kenya Multimedia university of Kenya; I graduated with a first class owner’s degree, with lots of hope that the future ahead of me was going to be bright having worked really hard in my studies, I wanted to get its fruit back

Before joining multimedia university I passed highly with grade “A,” that landed me to do journalism a course I was so passionate about, that it was going to change my life once and for all, I had been brought in a very humbled background, and by means of well-wishers and contribution I managed to land myself to collage thinking that it was a break through to life, I knew that once I could complete schooling  I could get a job and start earning, Until I learned that here in Kenya, No qualifications matter, but only a God father, bribes. Those were the only things that could help one get a job I Kenya, what if those of us who come from humble backgrounds with no God fathers, nor money to bribe Officials at interview, Perhaps we would just be jobless forever Isn’t it, During my graduation if I can remember very well speaker after speaker who stood to address at the graduation Square, promised me Heaven, they said that had a direct job with no interview, something has not happened for seven years Now. I visited the said offices dropping my Curriculum vitae (C.V) but never landed any job.

My Parents and siblings, were both looking forward to me to get a job and save them from the poverty life we had been staying in for over seventy years now, with nowhere to go to, perhaps I could not go back to the village, it was going to be shame, I was the only hope, I had the qualifications but nobody considered me for a job, I wondered why people with low academic qualifications as mine got Jobs but in my case I never got that luck, I was full of stress, When I vacated the school premises I had nowhere to go to, Nor even money to buy food to it, So I turned to the streets of Nairobi with no hopes of life, armed with my academic piece of polythene paper always by my arm I moved from street to street, just to pass time, when darkness came I could role myself in a sack and sleep under a fly over. During the day I could visit various construction sites and be given casual Job that earned Kenyan shillings 300 per day, that could only cater for food, One day as I was on a construction going by normal chores, I saw a friend of mine who we had schooled with drive an expensive car, he alighted and started to inspect the work done, little did I know the Manson under construction was his. I ran to him and greeted him, he was shocked to see me do that kind of job despite my qualification, after a chat I asked him how he got the job and became rich at his younger age, he was hesitant but after a while he informed me that Kiwanga doctors spell casting powers had helped him. That doctor kiwanga had casted luck spell in his life, and that in a short while things begun going his way, He gave me doctor kiwanga contacts and asked me to talk to them to change my life.

Without hesitance I contacted doctor kiwanga, booked an appointment and met him in person, he informed me that I was being haunted by bad luck from our family, and that he had removed it and casted good luck in me, he told me I would really love it, A day after meeting the doctor I got a message that requested me to go to a news presenter interview, and that’s why I got  my job, I  have improved my life with that of my family. Thanks to kiwanga doctors for helping me. I advise anyone with a work such, nor a good life such to visit kiwanga doctors because they have the solution to your problem, They also cast real and genuine spells in the world like Love spell, Money spell and black magic spell among other spells, Also treat and heal various illnesses Like Meningitis, Pneumonia and Epilepsy among other diseases.
