Joshua Werunga is not a name that many are familiar with. But there is a woman who is intimately familiar with this man, the speaker of Trans-Nzoia.

Narooma McDiarmid was a Scottish missionary when she met the Mayor of Kitale in 2008. Narooma McDiarmid was 26 and planning to set up the Schecaniah Children’s Centre in Kitale town where Joshua Werunga was the Mayor.

Narooma now lives in a hostel for the homeless in Edinburgh, Scotland with her eight-year-old daughter where. Since she has known him, she says that the only amount he has sent to her for their daughter's upkeep is 1000 shillings! This after spending time with his daughter on a couple of occasions.

At the moment she survives on hope and philanthropy of church members.
