President William Ruto on Tuesday reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to improving road infrastructure in Kisii County, announcing a KSh22 billion allocation for the construction of 270 kilometres of new roads.
The President said the investment is part of the government’s efforts to improve transport networks, enhance connectivity and stimulate economic activities across the county.
Speaking during the launch of the Sengenya-Openda-Kiagware Road in South Mugirango Constituency, Ruto said the government was committed to fulfilling its infrastructure pledges through the implementation of tangible development projects.
“Our promise to build key roads across Kisii County is being fulfilled, kilometre after kilometre. The budgetary allocation of KSh22 billion to construct 270km of new roads in the county demonstrates our resolve to translate our pledges into tangible projects that transform lives,”he said.
He also presided over the launch of the Nyakeyo-Nyamasege Road, another infrastructure project expected to improve connectivity within the constituency.
According to the President, the road construction programme will be implemented kilometre by kilometre, demonstrating the government’s resolve to expand infrastructure and improve accessibility in different parts of the country.
The KSh22 billion allocation targeting 270 kilometres of roads is expected to support movement of people and goods, particularly benefiting residents, farmers and businesses that depend on reliable transport networks.
The projects form part of the government’s broader infrastructure development agenda, which seeks to improve road connectivity and open up rural areas for economic opportunities.
