2023 Is the Year to Implement All My Campaign Pledges- Governor Lusaka

Bungoma governor Ken Lusaka has assured area residents that he is set to implement all his campaign projects starting 2023.

Addressing the press in Kamukuywa, Lusaka was ecstatic that he has set his on the ball to start all projects he promised voters during the last general elections campaign.
“I thank God that he made us overcome 2022, it was the year that was full of challenges but I laud Bungoma residents for having confidence in me and electing me back as their governor,” he said.
He added that, “I know understand the people’s concerns over the slow pace of development projects since my election but they should understand that I have been putting things in place and they should expect a busy year that will change their lives,”.

Lusaka stated that with the passage of the supplementary budget, things will be implemented from early 2023.
He noted that he has been forming his government through appointment of CECs and putting structures in place and it is time now to be a field oriented leader rather than an office leader so that residents feel the importance of electing him.

“I have already instructed my executives that we are going through hit the ground in 2023 and never be office leaders so that my government can be felt,” he said.
He pointed out that his Administration has advertised the fertilizer tender for both planting and top dressing. The free fertilizer will aid vulnerable farmers for the planting season inorder to have enough food for consumption and surplus.
“I am waiting for the scholarship report which must be implemented, at first the scheme faced a lot of challenges ranging from ghost students and rich families benefiting while the deserving cases left out. The reviewing will see the number reduce so that those who must be helped are given a priority,” he said.
Lusaka stated that tenders for 23 roads in sorry state have already been won and the contractors will soon embark on revamping them.

“We have already commissioned the cancer and palliative centre, eye unit and ICU unit at Bungoma county referral hospital as well the mortuary at Webuye Sub -County hospital,” he said.
He noted that they are going to advertise 246 posts for health workers which include 84 nurses, 20 doctors and several other cadres to bridge the gap left by those who resigned, or got greener pastures.
Lusaka said that the current regime has set aside funds for TVETs, employment of ECDE teachers and casuals.
