Wetangula, Ruto Allies Rally Budalangi Residents on Flood Safety, Development
Wetangula was accompanied by Migori Senator Eddy Oketch, Likuyani MP Innocent Mugabe, Kibet and other leaders.
Kenya Kwanza-aligned leaders, including Speaker Moses Wetangula and President William Ruto's aide Farouk Kibet, have been actively engaging with residents in flood-prone areas of Western Kenya. In Budalangi, Busia County, Kibet warned residents to remain vigilant and consider moving to safer ground as the country prepares for the upcoming rainy season.
Wetangula, on the other hand, called for enhanced security along Lake Victoria to protect fishermen and other livelihoods dependent on the lake. The leaders also highlighted development projects in Busia, including health, education, fishing, and special economic zone infrastructure. In Butere Constituency, they organized a women and boda boda empowerment programme, targeting residents from Marama North and Marama West.
The empowerment initiatives come as leaders increase grassroots engagements in the region, with similar programmes held in other Western Kenyan counties. The criticism of former President Uhuru Kenyatta for his recent political activities and support for opposition efforts has also surfaced during these engagements.
