The Deputy President was accompanied by former Funyula MP Paul Otuoma who promised to gift National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga with a bull if President Uhuru Kenyatta fails to garner more votes in Busia County.
Dr Otuoma who defected to Jubilee in September expressed confidence that Kenyatta would clinch more votes in the Western region under his stewardship.
