Bungoma Governor Ken Lusaka is on the spot for operating 352 commercial bank accounts.

The governor had a difficult time trying to convince the Senate Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations Committee that this had not created a loophole for corruption.

And it got worse when his Finance CEC admitted that he did not know Caren Makona, also known as Naliaka, who is a signatory to more than 70 bank accounts.
