Governor Barasa Hails Wamalwa Appointment, Urges Regional Collaboration and Sports Development
Governor Fernandes Barasa of Kakamega County took center stage in Likuyani Sub-County, warmly welcoming the appointment of Mr. Joel Wamalwa as the new CEO of the Lake Victoria North Water Works Development Agency (LVNWWDA). The homecoming ceremony, graced by Bungoma Governor Ken Lusaka, wasn’t just a celebration for Wamalwa; it served as a platform for Barasa to address crucial issues impacting the Western region.
Barasa lauded President William Ruto’s decision to appoint Wamalwa, confident that his expertise will bolster water accessibility across the region. This, he believes, will synergize with his own “Amatsi Khumuliango” program, striving to deliver water directly to Kakamega’s doorsteps.
Beyond the immediate benefits of water access, Barasa seized the opportunity to rally Luhya leaders towards a united front. He emphasized the importance of collaborating with the National Government, highlighting the potential of the upcoming Likuyani Industrial Park. This joint effort, he believes, promises not only economic empowerment but also a surge in construction and employment opportunities.
Recognizing the power of sports in fostering talent and community spirit, Barasa extended a warm invitation to all – residents and dignitaries alike – to the second edition of the Governor’s Cup. Scheduled for January 1st, 2024, at Bukhungu International Stadium, the event promises to be a thrilling showcase of athleticism while serving as a platform for nurturing future stars.
The event, brimming with dignitaries, saw attendance from Bungoma Senator David Wakoli Wafula, Members of the National Assembly, county officials, and local leaders. This diverse gathering underscored the significance of the occasion and the potential for collective action in shaping the region’s future.
In conclusion, the homecoming ceremony for Mr. Wamalwa transcended its initial purpose. It became a springboard for Governor Barasa to champion water access, regional collaboration, and youth development through sports. By uniting leaders and communities, he painted a picture of a future where the Western region thrives through shared vision and concerted effort.
