NAIROBI, Kenya, Jan 23\u2014President William Ruto and Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, on the third day of their Western Kenya development tour, reaffirmed the government\u2019s commitment to completing key projects worth billions of shillings to stimulate economic growth and improve livelihoods.<\/p>\n
Ruto led leaders in commissioning the extension of a dyke for the River Nzoia flood control project in Budalang\u2019i, Busia County, underscoring his administration\u2019s focus on equitable resource distribution. <\/p>\n
The dyke is designed to prevent backflow from Lake Victoria, reducing flood risks and allowing residents to farm and engage in productive activities without fear of displacement. It will also safeguard critical infrastructure, including Musoma Primary and Secondary Schools, Mau Mau Trading Centre, and Musoma Shopping Centre.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have united as leaders to move our country forward. Our focus is on service delivery and improving lives\u2014not tribal politics or division,\u201d said Ruto.<\/p>\n
Deputy President Kindiki emphasized the government\u2019s efforts to revamp vital economic sectors, including agriculture, fishing, and sugarcane farming, to enhance self-sufficiency and job creation. \u201cThe President is improving key sectors that directly impact wananchi. We are focused on ensuring that every Kenyan benefits from these reforms,\u201d said Kindiki.<\/p>\n
Ruto also launched construction of the Luanda Modern Market in Vihiga County, a KSh 366 million project set to serve 2,000 traders. The market\u2014one of 400 under the Kenya Kwanza manifesto\u2014will be completed in 18 months and will include market stalls, administration offices, ablution blocks, an ICT hub, a food court, a cold storage facility, and a cr\u00e8che for young children. It will support traders dealing in fresh produce, cereals, fish, ceramics, clothing, shoes, and household goods.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are now on a stronger economic footing after tackling high interest rates and inflation. This allows us to roll out major projects across the country\u2014including roads, electricity expansion, and modern markets,\u201d said Ruto in Luanda.<\/p>\n
The President also broke ground for a new tuition block at St. Anne\u2019s Bunyala Girls in Busia County and laid the foundation stone for Khwisero Mother and Child Level 4 Hospital in Kakamega County.<\/p>\n
Kindiki reiterated that the administration is investing in agriculture, livestock, fishing, and mining, while expanding job opportunities for the youth. \u201cThis is a government that serves all Kenyans, prioritizing development over divisive politics,\u201d he said.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
