“After addressing the councilors, I carried him again to the polytechnic from where he told me, before boarding the helicopter, that if he became president, he would want to meet me because he had never used a motorcycle in his campaign,
“I just want to tell the president to give me a chance to meet him.” Omai said.

President Uhuru Kenyatta is expected to start a tour of Busia this year coming hot on the heels of opposition leader Raila Odinga’s visit to the county. Raila’s tour of Busia is aimed at addressing the growing rebellion in the ODM party especially by members from Western Kenya.
