Governor Natembeya’s New Year Message

   By Wasike Elvis The beginning of a new year is often a time for reflection, to celebrate the good moments and address the challenges we face. Governor George Natembeya of Trans-Nzoia County shared his thoughts on both the promise and the struggles of the past year as he ushered in 2025.
In a heartfelt message, Natembeya expressed his honor in joining the Kitale Club Fraternity to mark its 100 years of existence. “I was privileged to usher in this new year by joining the Kitale Club to celebrate 100 years of its establishment. It is a moment of pride to be part of such a significant occasion, a reminder of how far we have come as a county,” he said. The event, which was a blend of history and celebration, provided a timely opportunity for the community to reflect on the progress and growth of the county.
However, amid the celebrations, Natembeya also took the opportunity to highlight a pressing concern—the rise in abductions of youth in the region. “It is disheartening to see a country fail to protect its people,” the governor lamented. He urged the national security agencies to take urgent action in addressing the alarming trend of disappearances, particularly among young people.
He further appealed for solidarity and compassion for those affected by the abductions. “As we begin this new year, let us keep in our prayers the families who have no idea where their loved ones are. May they find solace and strength, and may we all pray for the safe return of those who are missing,” Natembeya said.
The governor concluded his message with well wishes for the people of Trans-Nzoia and beyond. “I wish you a happy and prosperous 2025. Let us continue to love and support one another, ‘Tuendelee kupendana’ (Let us keep loving each other),” he said, emphasizing the importance of unity and compassion as the county moves into the new year.
With the celebrations behind us, Governor Natembeya’s message serves as both a reminder of our shared history and a call to action to address the critical issues facing the community in the coming year.  Read More
