According to the CS, some of the projects to be launched include road construction, rural electrification programmes, fishing, housing and mining among others.
“President Ruto has repeatedly said he will not discriminate against any community when undertaking development. It’s important for Nyanza people to cooperate with the government for efficient implementation of the projects,” he added.
Moreover, the CS urged the residents to focus on working with Dr Ruto because he is globally recognized as Kenya’s president warning them to be cautious of politicians who do not support the development because it is spearheaded by the Kenya Kwanza regime.
In his speech, the CS noted that President Ruto has opened his doors to work with all political leaders in the Nyanza region and it is important for them to take advantage of the opportunity to cooperate with the government.
“The government of President Ruto is ready to transform lives of Nyanza residents regardless of political affiliations,” Owalo said.
On his part, Nuclear Regulatory Authority chairman Omondi Anyanga said the 2022 general election was concluded and people should now focus on development.
He said Ruto had been declared the winner and his victory upheld by the Supreme Court and therefore there is no vacuum in the presidency.
Additionally, he told Nyanza residents to avoid leaders who discourage them from cooperating with the government.
