President William Ruto has flagged off a Last Mile Electricity Connectivity project in Nyamira County, targeting 2,000 households in Kitutu Masaba Constituency at a cost of KSh160 million.
The President launched the project at Nyangori Centre, where 150 households are set to be connected to electricity under the initiative.
Ruto said the wider project would extend electricity access to 2,000 homes across Kitutu Masaba, improving access to reliable power for households and supporting economic activities.
“Flagged off the Last Mile Electricity Connectivity at Nyangori Centre to connect 150 households to electricity,”Ruto said.
The Last Mile Electricity Connectivity Programme is aimed at expanding the national electricity network by connecting homes in areas that are not yet served by the grid.
Increased electricity access is expected to benefit households, small businesses, learning institutions and other community facilities by improving opportunities for productivity and service delivery.
The project also forms part of the government’s broader efforts to expand electricity connectivity and support development in rural communities.
The President announced the project during his development tour of Kitutu Masaba Constituency in Nyamira County.
