The President was accompanied by several leaders allied to him and received by a large crowd.

Among the projects undertaken during the tour was the commissioning of Kaiboi Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP) Market, part of the government's efforts to expand trading spaces and support small businesses.

Ruto also inspected the construction of the 729-unit Nandi Hills Affordable Housing Project, which forms part of the government's broader housing programme.

"Across the county, we are investing Sh18 billion to build 4,000 housing units, student hostels with a capacity of 7,000 beds and 15 modern markets, creating jobs, supporting businesses and transforming lives," he stated.

The President said the projects were intended to create jobs, support businesses and improve livelihoods across the county.

The housing programme is part of the government's wider affordable housing initiative, which seeks to increase access to decent housing while creating employment opportunities in the construction sector.

Ruto also visited Koitaleel Samoei University College in Nandi Hills, where he expressed satisfaction with the progress of infrastructure development at the institution.

The President said he had followed the institution's development over the years because of its role in expanding access to higher education in the region.

The administration block is 90 per cent complete, while construction of laboratories, lecture theatres and a library has commenced.

Plans are also underway to develop Samoei Senior School, adding to the education infrastructure planned for the area.

The projects formed part of the President's development engagements in Nandi, where he highlighted investments in housing, markets and education.

Ruto assured residents that his administration would remain focused on fulfilling its commitments, as he continued to seek support for his development agenda.
