Trans Nzoia is on the brink of a political uprising and leading the charge is the bold and unflinching Kiminini Member of Parliament, Hon. Maurice Kakai Bisau, who has delivered a thunderous condemnation of Governor George Natembeya’s disgraceful leadership. Bisau has mercilessly torn into what he terms the “Tawe Tyranny,” branding Natembeya a ruthless saboteur whose insatiable appetite for rejection is suffocating the dreams of the people.
According to Bisau, Natembeya has reduced governance to a childish game of obstinate refusal where the word “Tawe” is wielded like a hammer to smash every good idea, every noble project, and every meaningful partnership. The Governor’s mindless rejection of progress has become a national embarrassment. Bisau has castigated Natembeya for running a government of arrogance, pettiness, and pathological opposition where any initiative not bearing his name is trampled upon with impunity.
The MP did not mince his words in decrying Natembeya’s reckless sabotage of the life-saving medical facility set to be built in Weonia, Kiminini Constituency. Sponsored by the MPESA Foundation and passionately championed by former Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha, the project promised to revolutionize healthcare access in the region. But true to his destructive nature, the Governor maliciously discredited and obstructed the project, carelessly dismissing a golden opportunity to rescue his own people from a decaying health system.
Bisau was scathing in his assessment, reminding Natembeya that billions of shillings pumped into the county from the national treasury and the World Bank have been grossly mismanaged and squandered. Instead of translating these colossal allocations into tangible development, the Governor has presided over systemic plunder and catastrophic neglect, forcing other leaders to scramble for external interventions just to salvage what little hope remains.
The grim picture on the ground is undeniable. Poverty is deepening, the county’s health facilities have collapsed into death traps, and residents now refer to local hospitals as Shakahola, a grim symbol of daily preventable deaths. Bisau condemned the Governor for standing idle while Trans Nzoia’s health sector disintegrates under his watch, calling it a shameful abdication of duty and a crime against the people.
Bisau further lambasted Natembeya’s toxic culture of misinformation, primitive propaganda, and political thuggery, accusing him of deceiving the masses, especially within the Luhya community, to sustain his iron-fisted reign. He warned that the Governor’s relentless obsession with self-glorification, senseless grandstanding, and laughable public relations gimmicks will soon collapse under the weight of truth and rising public anger.
The Kiminini MP declared that the Obulala Movement, a formidable force of leaders and citizens, will not be cowed, bullied, or silenced. He emphasized that no amount of intimidation, sabotage, or cowardly smear campaigns will derail their mission to liberate Trans Nzoia from the suffocating grip of Natembeya’s tyrannical regime.
Bisau’s blistering rebuke of the Governor left no doubt that the county is now locked in a battle for its very soul. On one side stands the Tawe Movement, a band of rejectionists, chronic naysayers, and architects of stagnation. On the other stands the Obulala Movement, a rallying force for hope, prosperity, and people-centered leadership.
The people, Bisau says, are no longer blind. They see the failures, they feel the pain, and they will not forget. His final warning to Governor Natembeya was unequivocal, step aside or be mercilessly swept away by the will of the people. The Tawe Tyranny must fall.
