Deputy President William Ruto on Sunday outlined the Jubilee administration’s development blueprint for Bungoma County.
Ruto said top on the list will be the tarmacking of the Brigadier – Naitiri road among other key projects.
He was speaking in Naitiri during a Jubilee tour of the region.
The Deputy President noted that the Naitiri hospital once faced challenges but the Jubilee administration moved in and installed modern medical equipment.
He affirmed the Jubilee government’s stand that divisive and tribal politics have no place in modern Kenya.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy were accompanied by a host leaders from the Western region led by Bungoma Governor Ken Lusaka.
Speaking at Naitiri, President Kenyatta said the government will allocate Kshs 5 million – through the Ministry of Education – for the reconstruction of a dormitory razed down by fire at St Patricks Secondary School.
President Kenyatta also asked Bungoma residents to shun the propaganda and lies peddled by the opposition.
“We know that our opponents are spreading propaganda against us. But will you believe in the lies or the facts on the ground as reflected by the development projects implemented?” President Kenyatta posed to the hundreds of Bungoma residents who turned out to welcome him to the county.
