Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale condemned Deputy President Kithure Kindiki for meddling in the county's gubernatorial succession plans for 2027. The senator accused Kindiki of promoting current Governor Barasa for another term and warned against external interference in local electoral decisions. Khalwale announced his gubernatorial candidacy for the upcoming election cycle. He reminded Kindiki of his seniority and declared his intention to lead Kakamega County. The senator demanded that the reconstituted electoral commission ensure transparent and credible elections.
Khalwale criticized Speaker Moses Wetang'ula for conducting empowerment activities that appeared politically motivated. He compared Wetang'ula unfavorably to previous speakers, Kenneth Marende and Francis ole Kaparo, regarding proper conduct. The senator advocated for completely free education from elementary through university levels. He called on Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi to present parliamentary proposals supporting universal education funding. Khalwale assured lawmakers would approve such measures and emphasized Kenya's financial capacity to eliminate educational barriers for children.
