Kabuchai Member of Parliament Majimbo Kalasinga shocked many after losing his phone during a women’s empowerment forum in Saboti on Sunday, August 3, 2025.

The event was hosted by Saboti MP Caleb Amisi and had drawn a large crowd along with several leaders from across the region.

The news of the missing phone was delivered to the gathering by MP Caleb Amisi, who appealed to the person who might have picked it up to return it, stressing the importance of showing respect to the guests present.

“Mbunge Majimbo Kalasinga amepoteza simu yake hapa hapa, tafadhali vijana Mheshimiwa is here amewaandalia mchango, lakini amepoteza simu. Kama uko nayo, rudishia mheshimiwa tafadhali, tupeane heshima kwa wageni Sawa sawa,” Caleb Amisi stated.

Kalasinga had earlier addressed the forum briefly before requesting to leave early to attend a similar meeting in his Kabuchai constituency.

This was during a women’s fundraiser that brought together several MPs and leaders in support of the Saboti legislator’s women empowerment programme. The chief guest at the event was Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna. Other leaders present included Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba, Kitutu Chache MP Oliver Gesairo, Bumula MP Jack Wamboka, among others.

The young MPs

This comes at a time when young MPs from the Western region, led by Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, are uniting to challenge the entrenched political order in Bungoma and Western Kenya, pushing for a youth-driven renaissance.

On July 13, 2025, leaders such as Sifuna, Saboti MP Caleb Amisi, Bumula MP Jack Wamboka, and Kabuchai MP Majimbo Kalasinga converged in Kabuchai for a women’s empowerment forum hosted by Kalasinga, where they raised Ksh2.8 million for over 5,000 women to bolster small businesses, showcasing their commitment to grassroots economic upliftment.

During the event, Sifuna’s gesture of gifting money for nappies to a woman who had just given birth won public admiration. The group also collectively condemned Kenya Kwanza MPs for misusing empowerment funds and dismissed Wajir Woman Representative Fatuma Jehow’s vote-rigging allegations, demanding electoral accountability.
