"The county government will next week start working on the drainage systems at Gilgil town. This is aimed at remedying the drainage challenges of the town,” Njoroge said.
The fund drive event was graced by Governor Lee Kinyanjui, personal assistant James Mwaura, Nakuru county director of political affairs Beatrice Nyawira and Gilgil ward MCA Jane wangui Ngugi.
The county government officials also said that the county government will distribute a total of 20,000 avocado seedling across the county with each household getting 25 seedlings.
