Senate speaker Kenneth Lusaka on Friday facilitated the donation of hospital equipment to Ndalu dispensary in Tongaren sub-county, Bungoma county.
The equipment was donated by a local betting company in partnership with the speaker.
The hospital equipment donation worth Ksh 2 million includes; incubators that will help save pre-term babies, a double-suction pump for comprehensive chest diagnostic, delivery beds for the maternity wing, a digital weighing scale and 60 hospital blankets.
Addressing residents at Wanjia grounds in Ndalu, Lusaka assured them that his second coming will see the completion of all his unfinished projects.
"I had initiated a lot of projects during my governance as the first governor of Bungoma. Projects that have never been completed by the incumbent with claims that they aren't his," the Senate speaker said.
Lusaka noted that if elected come August, he will enhance a good relationship with friendly donors who are willing to push the county's development forward.
"Today's donation is courtesy of Sportpesa Kenya through me. When I take back governance of this county on August 9, I will encourage such friendly donors," Lusaka noted.
He further castigated the move by some leaders to interfere in development projects and donations that are meant to uplift the common mwananchi
"I want to tell them to stop interfering with the goodwill of those who want to empower the common mwananchi."
Lusaka is aiming to re-capture his seat in the August polls on the Ford Kenya ticket.
He lost to the incumbent Wycliffe Wangamati in the 2017 general elections.
Other candidates eying the Bungoma governorship include the sitting governor Wycliffe Wangamati running on the DAP-K ticket and businessman Zacharia Barasa as an independent candidate.
