Kakamega governor Wycliffe Ambetsa Oparanya will tomorrow be hosting  President Hage Geingob of Namibia during the 2018 Mashujaa Day Celebrations.

President Geingob will be a guest to President Uhuru Kenyatta who will be in a company of his Deputy William Samoei Ruto and former Prime minister Raila Odinga.

Oparanya who is privileged to be hosting the October 20th event has warmly welcomed everyone to Bukhungu stadium.

Leaders have different expectations from President Kenyatta ahead of the event tomorrow.

They have said they expect President Kenyatta  to address western Kenya’s poor economic growth during this year’s Mashujaa Day celebrations.

Sabatia MP Alfred Agoi and Vihiga Woman Representative Beatrice Adagala said Uhuru would have a chance to address the progress of Jubilee’s promises for the region.

Mr Agoi claimed that some roads in the region that have been under construction since former President Mwai Kibaki’s era had not been completed.

“The Kisumu-Kakamega-Webuye-Kitale road was half complete when President Kibaki handed power to Jubilee. More than five years down the line, it is still incomplete,” he said.

The MP said the region was eagerly waiting for Uhuru to address pressing issues.

“There are several issues that are affecting this region, top among them being the sugar sector; the collapsing factories and infrastructure. We are seeing other regions develop and new infrastructure unveiled yearly, yet this region continues to play catch-up,” Agoi said.
