Trans Nzoia Senator Allan Chesang has reaffirmed his commitment to executing his constitutional oversight mandate, saying he will not be intimidated or compromised in holding the county government accountable.
Speaking during a Rais Mashinani public engagement forum at Seum Primary School in Cherang’any Constituency, Chesang said his role as senator is firmly anchored in the Constitution and not subject to political pressure.
“My oversight role is not meant to please anybody. It is a constitutional responsibility that I must execute diligently,” he stated.
The senator referenced recent developments where George Natembeya was summoned before the Senate to respond to audit queries, emphasizing that accountability must prevail.
Chesang raised concerns over the management of public funds in Trans Nzoia County, noting that the county receives approximately KSh 13 billion annually from the National Exchequer and development partners.
> “The county government of Trans Nzoia has not delivered adequately on its mandate despite the resources allocated. This raises serious audit concerns that must be addressed,” he added.
At the same event, Kiminini MP Kakai Bisau criticized divisive politics, warning that it has hindered development in the county.
“We cannot attract meaningful development as a county if we continue prioritizing divisive politics over unity and progress,” said Bisau, who has declared interest in the gubernatorial seat.
Former Kiminini MP Chris Wamalwa urged residents to rally behind the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), expressing confidence in the party’s growing influence ahead of the 2027 General Election.
“UDA will field candidates from grassroots to the presidential level. I am vying for the position of Secretary General,” said Wamalwa, who recently defected from Ford Kenya.
Meanwhile, Endebess MP Robert Pukose expressed optimism that UDA will dominate Trans Nzoia politics in the next election cycle.
“We are confident that UDA will form the next county government in 2027 and secure the majority of elective seats,” he said.
