[PHOTOS] Project launches, crowds highlight Ruto Migori tour

President William Ruto has officially started his four-day inspection of development projects in Migori, Homa Bay, Siaya, and Kisumu counties.

The Head of State focused on the construction of roads and government investment in education, water and electricity, among others.

While touring Migori county on Wednesday, a mammoth crowd showed up to welcome the Head of State in the Nyanza region.

Ruto said progressive and inclusive politics will ensure that no part of Kenya is left behind in development.

"This is the rationale behind the recent naming of a broad-based Cabinet. In Kamasubo village, Suna East, we connected power to the family of Mr Andrew Owuor Masubo, and also launched the tarmacking of link roads in the constituency," Ruto said.

Accompanied by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Cabinet Secretaries, Governors, MPs and MCAs, the President thanked the wananchi and traders of Migori Town for rallying behind our transformative plan.

Projects launched

In Kegonga, Kuria East Constituency, Ruto launched the Kegonga Cluster Water Supply Project that will provide 1.85 million litres a day and benefit 15,000 households in Migori County.

Additionally, the government will spend Sh1.6 billion to connect 19,000 households in Migori County to power under the Last Mile Connectivity Programme. 

Later in Nyatike, he rolled out the Lower Kuja Irrigation Project that will irrigate 19,000 acres of land and is expected to produce 80,000 tonnes of rice a year.
