Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa has faulted Senator Boni Khalwale for not advocating development projects in the county.
Speaking in Lubao during the burial ceremony of the late Mzee Joseph Khagali, the Governor noted that the Senator is not working as per his mandate and his recent absence during the visit by President William Ruto says alot about him.
“During a recent visit by President H.E William Ruto, where we gathered to discuss crucial development projects in the County, including the completion of the Kakamega Level-6 hospital, Kakamega Airport, and Bukhungu International Stadium, the Senator was conspicuously absent,” he said

He continued by accusing the Senator of not fulfilling his duty as required by the constitution but promised to work with him to ensure that the county benefits on matters development.
“Despite our differences, I am willing to collaborate with the Senator to bring about positive change in the livelihoods of Kakamega residents,” he said
Khalwale was accused for causing Ikolomani to rank last in terms of development when he receives CDF funds.
“During Senator Khalwale’s ten-year tenure as a Member of Parliament, despite receiving CDF funds, Ikolomani ranked last in transformative leadership across Kenya,” said Barasa
