Bungoma governor Ken Lusaka has urged Kenyans to keep off the Azimio la Umoja protest on Monday.

Speaking at Kibabii Boys on Saturday during the burial ceremony of former CAK boss Francis Wangusi, Lusaka trashed Odinga’s call for Monday to be a national holiday arguing that it is only the CS for Interior who can pronounce it as a public holiday.

The Ford Kenya governor, however, called on Kenyans to keep off the Azimio la Umoja Monday protest saying that protests won't make him the President of Kenya.

“Power is given by God, Ruto won the August elections and was sworn in as the fifth President. Raila should stop forcing issues but rather give Ruto time to work,” Lusaka said.

Lusaka eulogized the late Wangusi as a leader who transformed the world from analogue to digital adding that he also contributed positively towards education in the country.

“When the history of ICT is written in Kenya, Wangusi is among those that will be featured for transforming the important sector,” he said.

In addition, Lusaka praised the head of state for his CAS appointments saying that Bungoma has reaped big.

“If there is a government that we have reaped then it’s this one, if you check on the CAS list you can see our own people there,” Lusaka said.

The county boss said that his government is on the road map to ensuring that residents are accessed clean adding that the KOICA II project will be complete before July.
