Bungoma Governor Ken Lusaka has assured supporters he will be on the ballot in the August 8 elections even though his rivals are attempting to pin him down through political witch-hunt.
Lusaka said the propaganda his rivals are peddling will not deter him from making a second run for the office.
“There are a number of human rights groups who are depending on rumours and malice to think that they will stop me from appearing on the ballot. Let them be told that theirs are efforts in futility…they have got no watertight evidence to prove their allegations,” he said.
A human rights group on Wednesday listed the governor among 20 leaders who must be barred from vying in the next general elections due to integrity issues.
Lusaka has however dismissed the said report as cheap political propaganda by his opponents whom he accused of using the activists to distract him.
