President William Ruto has stepped up the government’s development agenda at the Coast, commissioning major projects aimed at transforming trade and nurturing talent in Voi Town.
During his visit to the region, the Head of State laid the foundation stone for the construction of the KSh300 million Voi Modern Market, a project designed to support more than 1,000 traders.
The market will feature cold storage and other modern facilities to help reduce post-harvest losses, a key challenge facing small-scale traders and farmers in the area.
“Also launched the construction of the KSh950 million Voi Stadium, a 10,000-capacity facility that will support talent development in the county,”he said.
Ruto said the project is part of a broader plan by the government to strengthen local economies by providing traders with decent working spaces and improving value chains.
In addition, the President launched the construction of the KSh950 million Voi Stadium, a 10,000-seater facility expected to play a significant role in nurturing sports talent among youth in Taita-Taveta County.
He noted that investment in sports infrastructure is critical in identifying and developing talent, while also creating opportunities for young people to earn a living through sports.
