Bungoma Governor Ken Lusaka and his Deputy Hillary Chongwony have been endorsed by more than 100 Sabaot elders.
The elders are drawn from the Kony, Bok, Somek, Sabiny and Bongomek sub-tribes.
"We have seen roads built and tarmacked; free fertilizer being distributed to farmers. The disputes that were there between the Sabaots and Bukusus are now gone, thanks to the leadership of Lusaka and Chongwony," said Reuben Butaki, the chairman of the Council.
According to Butaki, the region has witnessed tremendous change.
The endorsement came after a group of people purporting to be Sabaot elders claimed that Governor Lusaka should change his deputy governor. "
We have even reported to the police. Those people claiming to be the elders are scavengers; they are conduits of some politicians," said one of the elders.
