The Jubilee government has invested in projects aimed at improving the lives of the residents of Kisii and Nyamira counties.
In an interview with Egesa FM, President Uhuru Kenyatta said the government is working closely with the two county governments to boost the economy of the region.
During the recent visit, he launched key roads Mogonga-Kenyenya-Riokindo-Magenche-Mariba-Nyagancha-Ebegere-Daraja road and the Marani road in Kisii.
He clarified that besides the roads he launched, the national government plans to construct an additional 200 kilometres of roads in the area.
On electricity, the President said the government has connected 750 primary schools to the electricity grid in Kisii, and 410 in Nyamira in the last three years.
He also said the government will soon embark on resettling integrated Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Kisii and Nyamira counties, and appealed to leaders and citizens to help in the identification of the genuine integrated IDPs so that the exercise is implemented smoothly and to avoid wastage of public resources.
While in the South Nyanza region, the President commissioned the Managed Equipment Service project at Nyamira Level 5 and Kisii Level 6 Teaching and Referral hospitals valued at Sh700 million and Sh750 million respectively.
“Working together with county governments, we want to ensure that Kenyans have access to specialised medical services whenever they need them,” he said.
