President Uhuru Kenyatta has called upon Gusii leaders to join the Jubilee government so that they can spearhead more development in the two counties.
According to the president, during his day visit to Nyamira County said his government is keen on developing all areas, and it would be much more easier for them to initiate projects if the local leaders join them and give them strategies on how to implement them.
“I have been happy working with some of the leaders from the area and I believe working with you all will see us make the counties and countries a better place to be,” he added.
He said his government is committed towards ensuring all regions get equal funds for development, and called upon governors to utilize the funds given to them by the national government into full use.
“We cannot feel the importance of devolution if we cannot utilize the available funds for development, let’s all be self responsible for that is key in ensuring that wananchi gets the right timely service,” he added.
The head of state also said they are looking into increasing the funds to the counties to spearhead more development projects.
