Kakamega lies next to a tropical rain forest, the only rain forest in Kenya....it receives the highest amount of rainfall in Kenya...in terms of living, it should rank higher than most towns in Kenya, fresh air, secure, low cost of living, and very clean.
It should certainly be a city. It looks very nice. They've done a good job. So much to see there. They have everything there. University, Parks, Stadium and plenty of shopping. Nice share👍👍Like 84
Gosh, last time I was in Kakamega, was in 2004. I first visited in 2001. Loved the people and the town, but I can see the amazing change since then. I’m British, but have lived in the USA since marrying my American husband. Thank you for posting.
To be honest this is my county and am so proud of it. Guys don't forget it has one fresh air and most moderate climatic change ..it's also one straight city with most areas flat ..it's just awsome to be in kakamega town
Dolphin 254 looks like a vehicle with a full tank fuel to update us on many aspects of our way of living. Thank you , GOD will take you far and provide the energy required to do all the works ahead.
Nice job, we had waited for long. When you travel through Kakamega all the way to Kaburengo along Eldoret - Malaba Road, you will realize that the governor has done good work. Not forgetting the video you did on Butere side where the roads were amazing. The place has undergone great revolution indeed.
Gov.Oparanya has done a marvellous job. Thanks for highlighting this.My prayer that Kakamega attains a charter,to become a City,in the not so distant future.
Great piece on the town of my childhood.Done very well.Great seeing some of the places I haven't seen in many years like Lurambi,Bukhungu stadium that is being Upgraded..etc.Good work by the Governor.Kudos also goes out to retired President HE Mwai Kibaki for converting Weco to a fully fledged University-MMUST.This really helped revive the town.
Honestly, I clicked on this video because your thumbnail had a sign to Kakamega High School. I tell you the truth, in this world today, Size, numbers, don't count - only EXCELLENCE counts and makes humans take notice! When I see the words KAKAMEGA HIGH SCHOOL I recall EXCELLENCE! IN SPORTS AND ACADEMICS! Keep the flag of excellence flying high, and Kakamega will be world renowned!
I was born in this town (Kakamega general hospital)in the 80s,the last time I was here it was in the 90s 🤦, Milimani estate just opposite golf Hotel was my home. A big change indeed
Very very beautiful kakamega city, you cannot compare it with busia town. Busia town is the most undeveloped County in the whole of kenya BRAVO His Exelency. Wikilif Oparanya, Mtu wamaendeleo GOD BLESS YOU MIGHTILY.
Butere, Khwisero , Mumias East , Mumias West , Matungu , Navakholo , Lurambi , Lugari , Likuyani , Shinyalu , Ikolomani , Malava , . There is a total of 12 constituencies . You omitted a few from your naming.....
Epic kakamega town is one of the few towns with extensive tarmac within the town centers and estates such as amalemba and otiende @dolphine yes I totally agree with you about the words concerning kakamega and the mzungu yes it came from the word Khakhameka....and you forgot the word isikuti also was coined from a mzungu who was very impressed by the isikuti dance and when he saw the dancers he said" IS GOOD'' but the luhyias misinterpreted it as isikuti.🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭in addition ikolomani constituency came about becouse of difficulty in pronouncing Goldmine 🤣🤣🤣 .... shout out to the luhyias .... please don't forget to bring us the updates on the newly constructed level 6 hospital one of the biggest in this region courtesy of whiclife ambetsa oparanya ,I would have wanted to see how the construction of the remaining bukungu stadium terrases,at some point construction had stalled ,how is the construction....
Thanks for the feedback...Luhyas are just on another level, you mean Isukuti came from the word 'Is Good' 😃😃this is so interesting...I'll update you on the level 6 hospital construction..for Bukhungu stadium, construction of the remaining part is going on..I even shared it at the end of this video
Change is all we need. Transformation of lives in people esp those in rural areas. Infrastructure and institutions with industries to upbringing of small growing towns.. Baba is the the only one who is cable
Since I'm a Gishu from Mbale City Uganda 🇺🇬,and the Luyha people are our brothers and sisters from Kenya,I would just be proud of our brothers and sisters from kakamega town and Bungoma too🥰
Thanks so much, Oparanya for a good job. Even though I don't sympathize with Azimio's sentiments, I certainly laud Oparanya for this great achievement. Asante Wycliffe
"Khakhamega".....you got it right..... And indeed my governor has done a good job. Unfortunately he is on the last serving term and we don't know if the next governor will develop it upward or downward.
Spectacular video. You've showcased my hometown sooo well. Can you go back to next door Kisumu and give us a better, extensive video like this one? The one you previously did was good but no better.
Nice One Dolphine! 🤗👌 The Left Turn At 6:18 Leads To The Actual "Town". That Blue Building at 4:34 Is SupaLoaf. (I Had To Mention It). 😁😋🙈 That Side Of Kakamega Closely Resembles Old Town (Mombasa)
Very well explained ,that's the origin of the name kakamega, without forgetting isukuti came about when a mzungu heard it being played and said "it is good"
Kakamega seems to be tenfold more developed than let's say nyeri,I think of all the former provincial headquarters Nyeri seems to have been left behind by the rest
I am not new to your channel. We should have been connected over a year ago. Anyway yes it looks like some part in Jamaica where I am from. @@dolphine254
I love the background music.. beautiful town. But kachmegians have done a very poor job when it comes to promoting & advertising their Town. Unlike Nakuru nd Kisumu who are in the news every day.
After genealogical testing (DNA), I've learned that my lineage is traced to the Luhya tribe / people native to western Kenya. The researchers determined this to be 99% statistically accurate. I will be returning after my birth and many generations in the USA, visiting kakamega to learn more about my Luhya ancestry and culture. Kakamega is highly recommended for me to visit. Can you recommend places I should visit, and/or tribal member(s) that would be beneficial for me to get in touch with to learn more about my ancestry and culture? Thank you for any assistance you extend.
You could try the nabongo mumia place it's around a place called matungu along the mumias/ busia road . You might find old men there who'll give you details .
