He argued that the money would have been better spent on rural feeder roads, many of which remain impassable during the rainy season.\u201cInstead of flashy urban projects, we should be fixing the roads that matter most to our people,\u201d Khang\u2019ati said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-background-color has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wangamati, who served as Bungoma Governor from 2017 to 2022 before losing to Kenneth Lusaka, has declared his intention to run again in 2027. But Khang\u2019ati, also eyeing the seat, dismissed his rival\u2019s comeback bid, calling him unfit to lead.\u201cWangamati had his chance and failed. Bungoma needs a visionary leader who puts people first,I believe I\u2019m that leader,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khang\u2019ati highlighted his development record as Kanduyi MP (2007\u20132013), citing projects like Mechimeru Sub-County Hospital, Kibabii University, expanded rural electrification, and numerous public schools. He also pledged to prioritize youth and women empowerment and push for tech-driven service delivery.With the 2027 gubernatorial race heating up, other contenders include Westlands MP Tim Wanyonyi, Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa, and Zacharia Baraza setting the stage for a fierce political showdown in Bungoma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained
