Police in Bungoma yesterday summoned leaders of the touts and taxi operators of the Bungoma bus stage to question them on why they blocked Deputy President William Ruto from addressing his rally. The DP, who was scheduled to hold a series of rallies on voter sensitisation, was forced to cancel a rally scheduled at the Bungoma bus spark and use an alternative route after the youth blocked the road and chanting anti-Jubilee songs. The commissioner is said to have instructed the youth leaders to provide the names of all members together with their personal details. Meanwhile, sources close to Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka told the Star Ruto will be returning to Bungoma tomorrow. Lusaka said the DP did not meet any resistance in Bungoma, adding that Ruto is popular in Bungoma town.
