By Peter Ochieng

Political leaders in Bungoma are calling for unity to enhance development in the county and the country at large.

Led by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula and governor Ken Lusaka, the leaders emphasized on unity of purpose as a driver to transformation and development.

Wetang'ula said they will walk together, like ants, to drive Bungoma into another phase of economic growth.

"Let us pride ourselves in our own, form a formidable team to reach the desired goal. We will walk the talk, in unison, like the ants to drive Bungoma into greater economic heights."

Governor Lusaka on his part expressed firm commitment to work closely with all leaders, for the benefit of the electorate.

"As we endeavor to bring forth change and deliver on our manifesto, my administration will embrace partnership and mutual collaboration with both national and county leadership."

"We are in the office to serve all irrespective of political affiliations. Support us in this course for transformation," he urged.

Additionally, the former Senate Speaker said a taskforce is already in place to streamline Webuye and Chwele municipalities.

"The World Bank has allocated funds towards upgrading our two municipalities recently gazetted. I have approved the taskforce to look into the boundaries and lay clear structures before operation," he said as quoted by his press unit.

The leaders spoke at St. Immaculate Heart of Mary Masikhu Catholic Church in Webuye West Constituency on Sunday, during a funds drive.
