Political leaders in Kisii County have lauded President William Ruto for initiating various development projects aimed at improving the livelihoods of the residents as he concluded his four-day tour of the Gusii region on Wednesday.
Speaking at the Kisii Agricultural Training Centre grounds on the outskirts of Kisii town, Kisii Governor Simba Arati thanked the President for engaging with the residents of Kisii and backing the county’s development priorities.
“Let me take this chance to thank the President for agreeing to extend the Rironi-Mau Summit carriageway to Kericho through Kisii and to Kisumu, as the expansion would improve transport infrastructure and boost economic growth in this region,” Arati said.
He also cited the ongoing expansion of Gusii Stadium to international standards and the upgrading of several road networks within the county.
President Ruto launched the construction of key roads, including the Keroka-Ibacho-Kiamokama road in Nyaribari Masaba Constituency, the Kenyoro SDA-Riana Market-Kerina Road in Bonchari Constituency and the Nyagesa-Rianyamanga road in Bobasi Constituency.
Others included the Sengenya-Openda-Kiagware road and Nyakeyo-Nyamasege road in South Mugirango Constituency, as well as the Ogembo town road in Bomachoge Chache Constituency.
Governor Arati reiterated his commitment to partnering with the national government to translate its commitments to tangible results for the people of Kisii.
