President William Ruto has defended his administration's approach to distributing national resources, insisting that all regions and communities are receiving fair treatment. The President unveiled a road construction project in Keroka town during a visit to Nyaribari Masaba Constituency in Kisii County. Ruto emphasized that development should not be contingent upon a region's geography, ethnicity, or historical disadvantages.
He launched the Keroka-Ibacho-Kiamokama road and announced the government's commitment to eliminating longstanding inequalities by expanding access to public resources and opportunities nationwide. Under the 'Usawa ni Sawa' equity-driven development agenda, the administration is rectifying historical imbalances through targeted development initiatives.
Kisii residents will benefit from improved infrastructure, electricity connectivity, and expanded access to education and essential services. The President also inaugurated the Last Mile Electricity Connectivity Project, which will provide power to 3,000 households in Nyaribari Masaba, a project costing Sh150 million. In another ceremony, Ruto commissioned the Ibeno Kenya Medical Training College in Nyaribari Chache, which will enhance healthcare professional training and bolster universal health coverage.
Governor Simba Arati commended the President's administration for its equitable treatment of Kenyans across different regions, while Nyaribari Chache MP Zeheer Jhanda highlighted recent developments in infrastructure, housing, and markets in his constituency. Mining Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho praised Ruto's efforts to promote equitable development, stating that a second term would enable the President to further consolidate these achievements.
Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba and several Members of Parliament were present at the events.
