Kithure Kindiki is scheduled to visit Machakos County as part of a broader economic empowerment initiative spearheaded by the national government. The visit is aimed at enhancing grassroots engagement and inspecting the progress of key development projects under the Kenya Kwanza administration.
This follows follows Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s recent tour of Machakos Town Constituency, where he underscored the government’s commitment to implementing equitable development across all counties. “Every county, every ward in this country will benefit from development projects that will improve the lives of the people,” the DP assured during his address.
Kindiki’s visit is expected to reinforce this pledge by engaging local leaders and residents in discussions focused on economic empowerment, security, and public service delivery. His presence in Machakos will highlight ongoing government efforts to stimulate economic growth and improve living standards in the region.
Among the notable projects underway in Machakos County are the construction of 15 modern markets designed to boost trade and support small-scale traders. These markets are part of the government’s broader initiative to promote economic self-reliance and create employment opportunities at the grassroots level.
Additionally, several affordable housing projects are progressing steadily across the county. Thousands of housing units are being developed to cater not only to local residents but also to students and staff of universities, technical training institutes, and colleges. This initiative aligns with President William Ruto’s housing agenda, which seeks to provide decent, affordable housing while spurring the construction sector and creating jobs.
During his recent visit, the DP also addressed issues of national cohesion, cautioning against individuals seeking to divide the nation along ethnic lines. He emphasized unity and collective progress as essential pillars of Kenya’s development agenda.
Kindiki’s visit to Machakos is expected to build on this message, with a focus on promoting inclusive development, strengthening security, and empowering local communities. His engagements will serve as a platform for assessing the impact of ongoing projects and identifying areas that require further intervention.
The government’s continued presence in Machakos underscores its commitment to ensuring that all regions benefit from the national development agenda.
