Trans Nzoia Governor Natembeya to Work with Ruto, Backs Sifuna for 2027 Presidency

Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has stated his intention to cooperate with President William Ruto on county projects, while also announcing his support for Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna in the 2027 presidential election.

Natembeya emphasized that his cooperation with the national government is limited to his role as governor and does not extend to campaign support. He also addressed claims that he has been blocking development in Trans Nzoia, attributing these accusations to allies of the President.

The governor further commented on the proposed KSh 1 billion hospital in the county and the dispute at Masinde Muliro Market, confirming that traders who were allocated stalls can resume business immediately.
