One person even decided to invite the politician to also go and help her mourn her beautiful friend as seemingly burials are turning out to be Khalwale’s thing.

Bonny Khalwale is a Kenyan politician, the former Senator for Kakamega County and a former Medical Officer.
Khalwale was chair of the Parliamentary Accounts Committee in the 10th Kenyan Parliament, where he made a reputation for leading censure motions against high profile cabinet ministers. He was appointed on a similar role in the 11th Kenyan Parliament.
He was however removed from the role one and half years to the 2017 General Election. This was on ground that he could no longer be impartial in his work having publicly declared his intention to view for the Kakamega Gubernatorial Seat.
The seat is currently held by Mr Wycliffe Oparanya of ODM. His home sub county of Ikolomani neighbours the populous sub counties of Shinyalu and Lurambi; a factor that is assessed to give him a head-start in the contest.
He commands a wide network of youth in the county due to his love for bullfighting sport and the fact that the educated youth feel unfavorably left out in the county government appointments.
These factors and bearing in mind that the incumbent is a deputy ODM party leader and a close ally of Raila Odinga have left some political analysts predicting a tough Gubernatorial contest.Mr Oparanya has won the hearts of many electorates since being MP for initiating several projects that uplift the lives of the common mwanachi.
