Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka has appealed to members of the Azimio la Umoja movement to avoid criticizing President William Ruto’s visit to the Western Kenya region.
Governor Lusaka stressed the importance of unity among elected leaders in achieving developmental goals for the people.
“We call upon our Azimio counterparts to refrain from criticizing the Head of State’s visit in the region. Campaigns are long behind us, we equally have a share in the National cake, the more reason we should stick together and push for the development agenda,” Governor Lusaka emphasized.
He further urged the people of Western Kenya to unite and warmly welcome President Ruto, suggesting that the visit could bring about significant positive change.
“This visit will be a game-changer, a major economic catalyst, and boost to legacy projects,” he remarked.
