Martin Olage Aug 07, 2023

President William Ruto will today continue his tour of the Mt. Kenya region in Nyeri with a series of projects to be commissioned. 

Beginning in Mukurweini, the Head of State will launch the Ichamara-Rutune Rd and commission the Kaigonji water project before moving on to Tetu and Othaya for additional water projects. Ruto will then open the new Nyeri bus park and stage, designed to alleviate congestion and create a more favorable transportation environment.

On Saturday, Ruto commissioned the new Githurai Market in Kiambu County and the Githurai Water Supply Project which will provide water to over 500,000 residents. 

He also commissioned the upgrading of several roads to bitumen standards. On Sunday, he hosted an interdenominational church service at Sagana state lodge, with National Assembly Majority leader Kimani Ichung'wah saying that the lodge will be used to unite Kenyans and usher in new leadership.

President William Ruto tours the strategic region for the first time since becoming president. Despite Uhuru Kenyatta supporting Raila Odinga, Mt Kenya played a crucial role in Ruto's presidential victory.
