Residents of Bumula blocked the Mumias-Bungoma highway on Thursday, April 23, 2026, using tyres, stones, and logs to protest the suspension of their MP Jack Wamboka as chair of the Parliamentary Public Investments Committee (PIC) on Governance and Education. The blockade disrupted traffic between Bungoma and Kakamega counties amid claims of government targeting critics of President William Ruto.
