Bukhungu Stadium was full of colour and excitement as the 2025 premier Kakamega County Interdepartmental Games ended in a lively ceremony presided over by H.E. Governor FCPA Fernandes Barasa. The three-day event brought together county staff in a strong display of teamwork, discipline, and unity — key values under Governor Barasa’s Good Governance pillar.

Governor Barasa praised all departments for their participation and sportsmanship, noting that the games promote physical fitness, wellness, and cohesion among staff. “Unity and teamwork are as important on the field as they are in our offices. Together, we build a stronger Kakamega,” he said, commending the organizing committee, led by CECM for Sports, CPA Jackline Masicha, for their excellent work.

In football, the Water Department shone through the Kakamega County Water and Sanitation Company (KACWASCO), defeating the Health Department 8–0 in the finals. The Public Service Administration (PSA) Department was named Best Overall, excelling in Volleyball, Netball, Tug of War, among other disciplines. The Finance Department won Tug of War (Ladies) and Pool (Ladies), while the Social Services, Sports, Youth, and Culture (SSSYC) Department was recognized as the Most Creative Department, in addition to other trophies. The Office of the Governor was named the Most Disciplined Department, as the Health Department won the Golf Championship.

Governor Barasa said the tournament strengthened unity among staff and created a platform to identify talented players who will represent Kakamega at the upcoming KICOSCA Games in Siaya. Also present were the First Lady, Prof. Janet Kassilly Barasa, Members of the County Assembly (MCAs), and senior county officials.
