Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has said he will traverse Kiambu County to launch and oversee the implementation of development projects.
This as the Kenya Kwanza administration steps up its focus on infrastructure, agriculture and improving economic opportunities for residents.
Speaking in Kiambu, Kindiki said the government was ready to implement development projects across the region, particularly road infrastructure aimed at easing movement, improving connectivity and supporting economic activities.
“I want to say Kiambu, Nakuru and Laikipia will be the largest beneficiaries of road development,” Kindiki said.
The Deputy President said the three counties would benefit from increased investment in road infrastructure, noting that better roads were important in connecting farmers and businesses to markets and improving movement between the counties and Nairobi.
Kindiki said the administration was working on the expansion of the Muthaiga-Kiambu Town Road, which he said would be upgraded into a dual carriageway.
He said the expansion would help ease congestion along the busy route and improve connectivity between Kiambu and Nairobi’s Central Business District, where thousands of residents travel daily for business and employment.
The Deputy President said the government was keen on ensuring that development projects reach different parts of the region rather than being concentrated in a few areas.
He said he would continue visiting different parts of Kiambu to launch projects and assess the implementation of government programmes, promising residents that development would remain a key priority for the administration.
Kindiki said he was committed to supporting President William Ruto in fulfilling the promises made by the Kenya Kwanza administration during the 2022 election campaign.
He said the government had made commitments to Kenyans during the campaign and was now focused on translating those promises into projects and programmes that can directly improve people's livelihoods.
Apart from road development, Kindiki highlighted agriculture as another area where the government was seeking to support residents, particularly dairy farmers who form an important part of Kiambu's economy.
The Deputy President announced that the government will resume the distribution of milk coolers across the region from February next year.
The coolers are expected to help farmers preserve milk for longer, reduce losses caused by spoilage and improve the quality of milk delivered to processors and markets.
Kindiki said the government would continue supporting farmers with interventions designed to strengthen agricultural production and improve household incomes.
Lari MP Mburu Kahangara said the Kenya Kwanza administration had delivered development projects to the people and urged residents to take note of the projects being implemented in the region.
Kahangara said improved infrastructure and other government programmes were contributing to the development of communities and creating an environment where residents could engage in economic activities more effectively.
He said the government should be supported in completing ongoing projects and rolling out additional programmes targeting the needs of local residents.
Kiambu Woman Representative Ann Wamuratha, on her part, said the Kenya Kwanza administration was promoting the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda, which she said was focused on improving the livelihoods of ordinary Kenyans.
