Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka. [Benard Lusigi, Standard]
Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka has called on the political class to abandon the growing culture of political violence, warning that the use of hired goons to disrupt public meetings poses a serious threat to Kenya's democratic gains ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Speaking during the annual St. Ignatius Mukumu Boys High School Prayer Day in Shinyalu, Kakamega County, Lusaka condemned recent incidents in which public gatherings have been disrupted by organised groups, saying leaders sponsoring such acts were pushing the country towards unnecessary instability.
Lusaka urged politicians across the political divide to uphold tolerance and peaceful competition, insisting that leadership should be contested through ideas and policies rather than violence and intimidation.
