Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has reiterated the government’s commitment to ensure equitable development.
Prof Kindiki said that President William Ruto’s government has initiated many development projects in Mt Kenya to transform livelihoods.
“Am advising the people against being deceived to leave the government to join the opposition where nothing is being provided,” he said.
The Deputy President said the road projects which had stalled have since been revived after the government released Sh176 billion owed to contractors to ensure completion of 6,000km.
He spoke at Gaichanjiru Catholic Church in Kandara, Murang’a, on Sunday, where he was the chief guest during celebrations to mark 100 years since the establishment of Gaichanjiru Mission Hospital managed by the Catholic Diocese of Murang'a.
Kindiki, who was accompanied by Cabinet Secretaries Alice Wahome (Lands) and Rebecca Miano (Tourism), said that the government has impacted the region with affordable houses estimated at 180,000 units, modern markets and student hostels that have created employment for hundreds of skilled and unskilled persons.
