BUNGOMA — Governor Kenneth Lusaka of Bungoma has voiced strong optimism regarding Kenya’s economic trajectory, asserting that the nation is on the path to recovery. His remarks were made during an interdenominational prayer event held in Tapsagoi, within the Turbo constituency, where he highlighted the strengthening of the Kenyan shilling against the dollar as a key indicator of economic progress.

According to Kenya News Agency, despite the challenges posed by high public debt, there are clear signs that the Kenyan economy is improving. “Forget about the opposition. As tradition, they must oppose and criticize everything regardless whether it is good or bad but the truth is that things are improving,” Lusaka stated, addressing the congregation and assembled leaders.

The event was attended by notable figures including Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha, Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii, local Member of Parliament Janet Sietenei, MPs Charles Gimose and Fred Ikana, and Senator Samson Cherargei. Together, these leaders joined Governor Lusaka in prayer and discussion about the nation’s economic outlook.

Lusaka’s optimistic message comes at a crucial time for Kenya, as the country navigates through economic challenges towards a hopeful recovery. His assurance to the public aims to bolster confidence in the government’s economic management and the future prosperity of Kenya.
