Kiambu Senator Kimani Wamatangi has asked the county government to initiate development projects across the county without discrimination.
Speaking at Gitaru trading centre in Kabete Constituency on Tuesday, the senator said that no region should be sidelined when it comes to development.
Wamatangi who addressed traders at the Gitaru shopping centre said that several residents had decried not accessing development.
“The county government must ensure that all Kiambu residents are benefiting from development projects being initiated in the county,” said the senator.
The Kiambu senate lawmaker intimated that the essence of devolution is to bring services to all Kenyans.
The senator at the same time asked the county government to complete development projects before the 2017 general elections.
He said that the county government should ensure that no projects are left pending.
Wamatangi at the same time appealed to the county government to push for the interests of traders and businessmen by lowering registration rates for business.
He said that the county will achieve development if traders and business people are supported.
“Small scale traders and businesspersons need the government’s support because they are the people who contribute largely to development,” said the senator.
Speaking when he issued bursary funds in Kikuyu on Wednesday, Governor William Kabogo said that the government will complete all projects before the elections.
He said that adequate funds will be set aside for development in the 2016-2017 financial year budget to finalise all projects.
Kabogo also asked elected leaders to stop early campaigns and fulfill the development pledges they made to the people.
