Busia women Rep Catherine Omanyo and Roots party leader George Wajackoyah attempted to hold demonstrations in Busia town, but were met with angry youths who stoned their motorcade.
The youths vowed to stand firm and protect Busia town’s status, which they believe has shown signs of improvement.
They reiterated their refusal to engage in bribery to fuel the town’s destruction. Omanyo, along with Wajakoya and Budalangi MP Raphael Wanjala, faced challenges in addressing Azimio supporters in Bulanda and Marachi estates, forcing them to flee for safety.
Busia is on a face-lift with the expansion of the road from Korinda to OSBP and the creation of the Nasewa Export Processing zone.
Busia Youth Alliance president Lazarus Ojijo condemned some leaders for funding the destruction of peace and developments in the name of anti-government demonstrations, aiming to discourage investments.
The youths vowed to engage any group attempting to destruct the county’s operations.
