Speaking to #iKUWEiKUWE Updates after the afternoon session Lwandanyi MCA Hon. Tony Barasa said;

We cannot channel 200 million yearly to construct a LREB headquarters in Kisumu (a City) when Bungoma a smaller County/town is straining to educate and employ our youths, improve infrastructure (roads, schools, staff quarters, County offices), improve water supply, equipping our vocational centers, better remuneration for our staff and of course improving healthcare etc.
