Trans Nzoia Couunty Gubernatorial aspirant Dr. Chris Wamalwa has declared he is ready to transform Trans Nzoia County if elected governor in the 2027 General Election.
Dr. Wamalwa, who is making a second stab at the county’s top seat, said Trans Nzoia has immense potential but continues to lag behind economically due to a lack of visionary leadership.
Speaking during a consultative forum at Kong’asis in Chepsiro Kiptoror Ward, the former Kiminini Member of Parliament outlined an ambitious development agenda anchored on healthcare, agriculture, education, and economic growth.
He said his 10 year as an MP wafbneed his the right experience to kead a s agoveernie saying Health sector revival, he said, would be a key priority of his administration.
“Our health sector is ailing and needs urgent intervention. We must equip our health facilities to ensure our people receive quality and dignified healthcare services,” Dr. Wamalwa said.
He also emphasized the central role of agriculture in the county’s economy, pledging targeted support for vulnerable smallholder farmers.
“Agriculture is the backbone of Trans Nzoia’s economy. To make it more productive, we must provide affirmative funding, including free maize seeds and fertilizer for vulnerable farmers,” he noted.
On education, Dr. Wamalwa promised to champion the establishment of the first public university in Trans Nzoia County, describing its absence as a major setback to local development.
“The lack of a public university is a huge blow to this county’s economy. A university will boost education, create jobs, and stimulate economic growth. I will ensure Trans Nzoia gets one,” he said.
Dr. Wamalwa also reaffirmed his recent defection to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party and used the forum to rally support for President William Ruto’s re-election.
“The President deserves a second term. He has delivered on his promises to Kenyans and still has much to achieve under his development agenda,” he said.
As the 2027 race begins to take shape, Dr. Wamalwa continues to engage residents across the county, selling his vision of a healthier, more productive, and economically vibrant Trans Nzoia.
