Kenya’s Ruto in regional trip, eyeing investment boost 

President William Ruto’s recent visit to Nakuru and Nyandarua counties signaled a renewed focus on infrastructure development, job creation, and economic growth. His official engagements saw the launch and inspection of key projects, addressing long-standing concerns and laying the groundwork for future prosperity.

One of the most significant initiatives was the launch of the Kiambiriria-Kuresoi-Chepsir road upgrade. This project, a longstanding request of residents and businesses, aims to improve connectivity, reduce travel time, and boost economic activity in the region. Ruto’s commitment to addressing infrastructure concerns reflects his administration’s focus on fulfilling promises of development and delivering tangible improvements.

Ruto’s initiatives extend beyond road construction. He inaugurated the Bondeni Affordable Housing Project in Nakuru County, aiming to create jobs for the youth and construct 10,000 houses. This project not only provides affordable housing options but also injects economic stability into the lives of young people, improving overall living standards.

President Ruto also prioritized attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) to stimulate industrial growth and increase exports. By issuing licenses to six companies investing a total of KSh30 billion, the President facilitated the creation of over 3,000 jobs. Furthermore, his emphasis on green industrialization and reducing energy costs in the Naivasha Special Economic Zone underscored his administration’s commitment to environmental sustainability.

President Ruto’s visit also included a meeting with Jubilee Party MCAs, where he urged them to put aside political differences and focus on unity. He pledged to combat corruption, highlighting it as a major impediment to development. By addressing this critical issue and promoting unity, Ruto aims to build trust and foster a more collaborative environment for progress.

President Ruto’s visit to Nakuru and Nyandarua counties demonstrated a clear vision for development, job creation, and economic growth. By prioritizing infrastructure upgrades, affordable housing, foreign investment, and environmental sustainability, his administration aims to lay the groundwork for a more prosperous future for the region and the nation as a whole.
