Why Kenneth Lusaka Is The Best Man For The Bungoma Governor Seat (OPINION)

The Bungoma gubernatorial race between current governor Wycliffe Wangamati and senate speaker Kenneth Lusaka is one of the most competitive and hotly contested races this coming elections.Everyone has their own view to who should win but in my opinion Kenneth Lusaka is the best man for the job and here is why.Number one and the most obvious reason is current governor Wangamati has been incompetent.Through his five year reign,their has been no noticeable development in the region.Instead,money meant to develop the region found itself in the pockets of very few individuals.Second reason is Wangamati has already served one term and if elected on the second term,he will not deliver.The second term as governor is the last and whether he performs or not he will not contest again thus he will not have the pressure to perform.Lusaka on the other hand will be obliged to perform if he wants to be re elected again.
