President William Ruto has reassured residents of Western Kenya that the region will not be left behind as the country progresses. He made this promise while speaking at the funeral of the late Malava MP Malulu Injendi in Kakamega County. Ruto announced plans to construct five new roads in the region to promote economic growth.
He told locals that the region would not see positive change if leaders engaged in fighting. "Kakamega will not be transformed through noise or chaos," he explained. It will be changed with good plans and strategy." Ruto's remarks follow an appeal by Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula.
They called on Western politicians to stop fighting at funerals and public events. This trend is becoming increasingly common in vote-rich regions. Mudavadi urged politicians to be more tolerant of one another, emphasizing that fierce politics have no place in modern society.
He warned against misusing youths to cause chaos at funerals or public meetings, stating that chaos will not lead to progress. Ruto echoed this sentiment, urging leaders from the region to work with his administration to develop the area. He asked for cooperation, emphasizing the need to work together to bring about change.
The President expressed optimism that the region will experience growth in 2025. He explained that he used the first two years of his term to lay the foundation for progress. Ruto thanked the leaders from the region, led by Governor Barasa, for agreeing to collaborate with him to transform the area.
He pledged to speed up development efforts. Ruto outlined his focus on improving the road network, power connections, and agriculture to foster growth in the region. He also promised to ensure that workers at Nzoia Sugar Company and sugarcane farmers in the area are paid well.
The President's assurances come as a welcome message to the residents of Western Kenya. They have long felt neglected by previous governments. Ruto's commitment to inclusive development and his call for unity among leaders offer hope for a brighter future in the region.
