President William Ruto has assured Kiambu residents that his administration has fulfilled most of the pledges made to them ahead of the 2022 general elections, with the remaining commitments set to be completed before 2027.
Speaking during a Sunday visit to the county, Ruto said he would soon meet Kiambu’s leadership to review the development charter they agreed upon before his election. The meeting, he explained, would serve as a performance audit to identify gaps and adjust priorities where necessary.
“I have the report card with me. All that we signed together has either been delivered or is in progress. Those not yet done will be completed,” the President said. “We need to sit down and review the charter so you can correct me where I have not fulfilled.”
Ruto hailed Kiambu as one of the biggest beneficiaries of his government’s infrastructure investments, noting that Ksh.40 billion had been allocated to road construction alone in the county over the past two years. He cited the completion of stalled roads to improve transport and boost trade as a key achievement.
Nationwide, Ruto reiterated his pledge that no region would be sidelined in development projects. He confirmed plans to commission the Mau Summit–Malaba road, a dual carriageway to Naivasha, and a six-lane highway to Nakuru before the next general election.
In the health sector, the President ordered all Level 1 to 3 health facilities, including sub-county hospitals, to offer free outpatient services under the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) programme, with costs covered by the national government. He cautioned Governor Kimani Wamatangi against allowing facilities to charge patients despite government funding.
Beyond infrastructure and healthcare, Ruto made a Ksh.5 million donation towards the completion of PCEA Joshua Matenjwa Memorial Church, underscoring his commitment to supporting community projects.
The President concluded by affirming that the country’s economy had stabilised under his leadership, enabling the government to complete stalled projects and sustain development momentum. “We are going to finish what we started, not only in Kiambu but across the nation,” he said.
