In Shinyalu, Kakamega County, officially commissioned the tarmacking of the Kakamega Airstrip–Shinyalu–Chepsonoi road; a transformative infrastructure project that marks yet another milestone in our mission to connect communities, open opportunities, and unlock local potential. Once complete, this 25-kilometre road will revolutionise movement and trade across the region; empowering farmers and traders in Murhanda, Shinyalu, and Virhembe markets to access broader markets, transport their goods with ease, and expand their enterprises. It is through strategic investments in infrastructure, the kind that fuels productivity, drives prosperity, and strengthens livelihoods, that we are transforming lives and communities across our nation.(William Samoei Ruto, PhD)
