Khalwale to get top government job

Just in

Former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale could soon be out of the political after his political rival and current Governor Wycliffe Oparanya indicated his interest in appointing the outspoken politician for a senior government job.

Speaking during the Devolution Conference which he is currently hosting, Oparanya hailed Khalwale for promoting bullfighting which has become a major tourism feature in Kakamega.

Rachel Ruto is no stranger to making bold yet elegant fashion statements, but during the state visit of the Dutch royals on March 18, 2025, it wasn’t just her outfit that stood out—it was her shoes. The Kenyan First Lady stepped out in a pair of brown suede block heels adorned with a gold emblem.

The message excited delegates at the Devolution Conference given the polarised relationship the two politicians have had in the past.

Khalwale came second in his unsuccessful attempt to block Oparanya from getting re-elected in the 2017 General Election.

Khalwale claimed that he had declined numerous job offers from the Jubilee side to fight for Odinga but felt betrayed when the NASA Leader met President Uhuru Kenyatta without consulting his coalition partners.
