This was a very well told narrative and the history was very good. As one who hails from Hambale, I'm awe struck. Asante for this... Consider doing more!!! Especially the history of the region. And, you're a good story teller 😂
I stumbled upon this channel and have since been watching all your videos. I realy like the detailed history, development comaprison of counties and your narration. continue with the good work. waitng for another one ya shot moja classic 😂😂.
Wow! great job, a decent historian learning a lot from your channel....thanks man Background music is dope. Hongera Let's push his subscription people.....
Am from Central Kenya but married in western and my in law live in Mbale but me and hubby in Kakamega, this video is a very true explanation of how those two areas different in development. My first visit to Kakamega, when we were dating, my hubby thought i will not like it but i fell in love with Kakamega from Day 1 and its my second home for the past 4yrs, i don't plan to leave at all.. on the other hand Mbale have its beautiful landscape but the infrastructure there is zero. Legrand Media is right 100.01%
I am a two county person,Kakamega is my home and where I grew up and I can say Oparanya is a winner,came to kenya and I was confused where am in kakamega or where?sincerely everything has changed and again went to kisumu my another home got surprised too😳😳Nyongo did a good job and if given another chance I would choose the two governors for the wonderful job they have done💯💯
I love that emphasis of yen years of devolution he's right most counties took advantage utilirsed domestic revenues bought excavators and carpeted all roads and instilled bumps and steet kights for their roads immediately in Kibakis government Thika road will have git brts before this place ever get to know roads or development
Very informative content brother keep it up.You open our eyes for see development for various counties.May plea to you is to continue enlighting us.And please make a visit to Homa Bay county.
Good work Le grand media. can you please do a video analyzing the special relationship between Luyhas and Luo. why are these two tribes so close that they hardly disagree compared to other neighbours they have
I guess Vihiga Governor is in the class of "do we eat roads"?. His priorities strictly include "climate change" (whatever that means) and "induction meetings" left, right and centre. One can only feel horribly embarrassed on his behalf. And the fact that he is a PhD makes it even more painful.
I love your channel. Keep it up! I just subscribed. I understand you are in love with Oparanya, he occupies about 35% of your dreams at night. But please, you are giving him wayyyy too much credit than he deserves. Kakamega was already developed before Oparanya was even born. Some of those roads you are showing were funded by the taxes of the people of Mbale and Vihiga as a whole. We used to be part of Kakamega and paid taxes to the district headquarters in Kakamega. I agree with you, the next governor in Vihiga needs to stand up and put the foot on the gas. You must understand Kakamega is a bigger town and therefore has a bigger tax base. If I hear one more time "Oparanya is a genius" I am going to gag
Noted. However, please note that I am only showing what has been done within the last ten years. Not what was done when Western Province was still in place. I know mentioning Oparanya may be sounding boring 😂. But even remote places have tarmac roads, and we have several other county developments that I haven't mentioned. So, the many praises are not baseless.
@Legrand media, mr Man I begged you to give you Facebook account we follow and expose this all rotten leadership, I'm from Busia but I'm embarrassed with what Ojaamongo did for 10yrs.
@Aloise Odhiambo is the same Question I was asking myself about Busia county, Ojaamongo Must be arrested and account on what He did with development fund.
I understand you my brother. But you are comparing apples to oranges. Kakamega has a bigger tax base, so they can afford to build better roads. They have industries, many business, colleges and health centers. It does not matter if it's in the last 5, 10 or 20 years. Kakamega had a head start. It's like comparing kakamega and Nairobi in the last 10 yrs. Won't be fair. By watching your channel, am soo western Kenya smarter than I was before. Keep up the good work and we will keep watching. Do more vihiga stories, i am a mbale native in diaspora
Thank you for this documentary! Oparanya is a performer! He was awarded by late president kibaki for service delivery.. He's a president in waiting! Watch this Space
That's very inspiring bro. As a child from kakamega am proud of this. I would like an advice of the kind of small profitable business one can start in kakamega on a low budget let's say 100k? Your advice would be much appreciated
@@giddyakali27 my skill is in construction industry and I love anything to do with construction. However I understand to start a business in this sector one would need a bigger amount of money. I also would like to try beauty products market
@@giddyakali27 that is a road that has been built by the current Governor Dr Wilbur Otichillo. Kindly take time and pass through it. Vihiga County, formerly Vihiga district had been neglected by successive governments since independence.
Wow! Such a nice history. Been addicted to this channel hata my son kabla afungue shule alikua ananiambia "mum, huyo ni Giddy anaongea" Well, Oparanya has done a good job. But tangu nikue mdogo nimekuwa naskia story za kuogopesha about iyo subtribe maragoli. I need mtu wa kuniambia ukweli😂
I concur about busia town center which has rough roads and too many potholes suitable for planting plantains Poor planning, lacks project monitoring, and misplaced priorities
@@giddyakali27 OK its good but Kakamega is large meaning its revenue is more to do a lot of projects. Also the allocation for Kakamega is much more to sustain developments.You should be comparing Kakamega with other regional headquarters like Kisumu,Nakuru, Mombasa etc For Vihiga compare with fellow county headquarters then we can fairly rate.
@@ronnymusalia8098 does that justify lack of development? For instance, Busia does not have even a single completed market, and it has many potholes in town. Does that have to do with less revenue collection?
Am not supporting poor performance just want you to be fair, as you do your research compare regional headquarters with their counterparts and county headquarters with their fellow county headquarters too.
Remember Kakamega has served as a provincial headqurters even before devolution times and only an insane person can compare it with Vihiga or Busia which were district headquartes.
You are right it's outrightly dishonest to expect Vihiga to rise to the levels of kisumu and kakamega in such a short time. Besides, public participation informs which priority areas people feel they need to have.
This is unfortunate. 1. Kakamega has been a provincial headquarter for years. Most tarmac roads were constructed back then. The remainder were constructed in the 2nd term of Oparanya. 2. Kakamega has achieved milestones by giving the governor 2 terms to actualize his CIDP. 3. Mbale has most of its land on free hold tittle. Can the government forcefully take land from individuals?
Nothing shown in the video was inherited from the Provincial administration. All those are county government projects. If the land is on freehold, then voters should at least see some other developments. No markets, many rough roads, and no stage. That can't be justified
Then the comparison between Vihiga county and Kakamega County must stop. Let Vihiga be compared to counties like Nandi, Busia and Siaya where a provincial headquarter wasn't there.
@@kenochoggia6012 We are talking of simple things like a market to shield small traders from rain and sunshine and you are here talking of provincial headquarters. Must you have a provincial headquarter before you build a small market?
Nice content always good to get a perspective of the local development, but I think it's unfair to compare kakamega and mbale, being that it was the regional headquarters - maybe a comparison with kisii, nyeri and the likes would give a better picture of the work done by the governor. All in all good content.
Kakamega always was the Western Kenya Provincial Capital & the bus stand was tarmaced in the mid 80s, big market always present for as long as I remember, my late aunt had a stall there & she died 15yrs ago. Kakamega even has a State Lodge & The Golf Hotel. I hope they have rehabilitated the golf field. It was already well planned & laid out, football field, showgrounds, PGH; Oparanya has had the vision & drive to provide services to the people & to a large extent he has delivered. Cannot really compare it to Mbale in ANY sense. Mbale was always a satellite town to Kakamega...but their governor has no vision & is a non performer. A better performer should be found to replace him & any funds misappropriated traced & the law applied according
Very good roads in kakamega, but one thing I have noticed is that once the roads are complete nobody cares about maintenance. I can see grass growing in the drainage. We have a long way to go as a country.
All this report is totally more than a truth, am a resident of vihiga count, we are suffering and we have no voice to cry to, infact there is some major places that if I may mention I could be arrested for talking about it.
I like the way you are exposing this lazy politicians Shem on them nkt!! Halafu watarudi wapee watu 50bob za campaign wawachague tena indeed si ndo wajingaa #call me marediyo the artist

There is mbale in Uganda too.Does it relates to this one?
No. This is Mbale named after Ambale. Not the case of Uganda

What did you hear? Let's start from there
I pray God to have mercy on us people of vihiga😪😪😪
Thanks brother good job
Welcome
This is good video actually compared to other videos I have been watching,,,,compare Mbale with Khwisero.
Khwisero is not a county headquarters. It is a market. I can only compare Khwisero to a market in Vihiga
I concur about busia town center which has rough roads and too many potholes suitable for planting plantains
Poor planning, lacks project monitoring, and misplaced priorities
Just say corruption.
Oparanya has done good job may God bless him
Iope ottichillo is watching this channel
Kabisa broo naona unakaribia kwetu hapo maseno angazia hi barabara kutoka maseno police station mpaka kombewa sijui shida iko wapi?
we shall check that when we will be analysing rural development
I Wish to meet you someday, you made my day
You will
Excellent video. Please compare Kakamega county to the joke that is Siaya county. Oparanya should be the next governor in Siaya.
Check my next video. I have done Siaya
We should protest to make him the defacto manager of Siaya County. In fact Oparanya Should be the president of Kenya & Nyong'o his deputy.
Akh thnx alot bro...mulika kabisa ndo those in big position like ??????? waaibike
Waiting to see bungoma nxt .....
It will come in a few days
How do you compare a regional headquarter and a county headquarter?
I am comparing projects completed within the last ten years with money allocated within the last ten years. Not money allocated since independence.

keep doing great
I will
Great history right there.
People from western Kenya should wake up.... They should elect visionary leaders to help them spare growth of the region
Compare Kakamega with equals in financial allocations, eg. Machakos, Kiambu, Turkana etc.
Stick here and let me show you that even Bungoma can be equal to Kakamega in terms of development
Another storey building market is under construction at Sichirai Lurambi..... Oparanya tibim💪
Hey legrand can you investigate for us siaya town plz
Siaya video will be dropping tomorrow. Just subscribe and wait
@@giddyakali27 thanks I love your work perfect job although I am from siaya but kach thumbs up I would like to see my county development siaya
bro your video are very informative
Glad you like them!
All the markets in kakamega are well constructed
This is true this is mbale I come from Hamisi
You nailed it 👌
The Governor must be held accountable! Alipeleka pesa wapi?
Kindly endelea...compare Ongwae(kisii) with Oparanya (Kakamega). They both worked in Kibaki's government
I surely will
You should visit nyandarua and compare it with kakamega, Oparanya has done great
I will
Who will rescue Vihiga? Khaniri, Agoi, Akaranga- tano tena or Otichilo - tano tena?
Even residents are divided. They are not sure
Mimi lami imefika hadi kwa mlango yangu.I salute Oparanya my governor
Remember Kakamega has served as a provincial headqurters even before devolution times and only an insane person can compare it with Vihiga or Busia which were district headquartes.

Trans nzoia gave Khaemba 2 terms and he did nothing so two consecutive terms does not mean development.
Then the comparison between Vihiga county and Kakamega County must stop. Let Vihiga be compared to counties like Nandi, Busia and Siaya where a provincial headquarter wasn't there.
I hope this does not justify underdevelopment and embezzlement of funds
@@kenochoggia6012 We are talking of simple things like a market to shield small traders from rain and sunshine and you are here talking of provincial headquarters.

Noted. However, I am displaying what has been done within 10 years with the allocated funds. Not what was handed over
Kisii is on another level. Very vibrant and developed even before devolution.
Don't defend mediocrity. Vihiga county is leadership is an embarrassment to the spirit of devolution

Mbale is the headquarter of vihiga County.? I thot there is a town called Vihiga
There is no town called Vihiga. Vihiga simply means in the rocks.
Very good roads in kakamega, but one thing I have noticed is that once the roads are complete nobody cares about maintenance. I can see grass growing in the drainage. We have a long way to go as a country.
That's one weakness I will address later in a different video
