Lusaka's comeback in Bungoma politics is today an activity if not all, majority voters and leader's are after taking part with opportunist aspirants using it as an advantage to sell their manifesto since the mention of the name 'LUSAKA ' is an agenda in Bungoma greater than other agendas on table and to rhyme with the electorates, say Lusaka and you are guaranteed to prolong your speech.
