Bungoma County Government

Brief history of the County

Formation

Bungoma County Government was established in 2013 as per the Constitution of Kenya 2010 which provides for the two levels of government.

Communities

The County historically is inhabited by the Bukusu, Tachoni, Batura, Sabaot, Iteso and other Kenyan communities who reside side by side in peace. The County is generally cosmopolitan and has good representation of both local and foreign expatriates.

Colonial period

Some of the notable achievements attained during this period included: a robust cooperative movement, which was a role model for the country and the railway stations at Webuye, Sudi, Bungoma and Myanga which revolutionized the transport system in the County. Today with devolution, we can built and expand on these developments.
