Lead image for Sifuna promises to revert Mumias back to public, if elected.
Politics of the sugarcane sector, unity of the Luhya community and Kakamega gubernatorial race dominated the final day of the Linda Mwananchi tour of the Western region on Sunday.
Led by Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya, Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi and his Kakamega counterpart Boni Khalwale, the leaders promised to turn around the economy of not only the Western region, but the entire country should Mr Sifuna be elected president in 2027.
The leaders attended mass at Mumias ACK Church then later held a rally in Mumias Town, Mumias East Shianda Market, Navakholo, Malava and finally in Lumakanda, marking the end of their three-day tour.

Mr Sifuna asked the people to not look at his inexperience at the top, but trust him, as he promised to solve their problems and improve their livelihoods.
He decried the woes facing the sugarcane sector in the region accusing President William Ruto of conniving with private millers to take over State-owned sugar factories while also allowing the importation of sugar into the country while farmers continue to suffer.
