Jubilee bigwigs head to Western Kenya with goodies

Bungoma governor Kenneth Lusaka

BUNGOMA: President Uhuru Kenyatta will visit Western Kenya on August 30, barely a month after Opposition leader Raila Odinga made a five-day tour of the region. Organisers of the tour say top on the agenda will be the official opening of the Webuye Pan Paper Mill, which was sold to a private investor for Sh900 million. He will also initiate several development projects in Bungoma, Kakamega and Vihiga counties.

Lately, the Western region has attracted interests of both Jubilee and Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) in equal measure.
