He also disclosed that solar power will be connected to boreholes across the Ward to ensure reliable and sustainable access to water a move aligned with the County’s climate-smart development agenda.
The tour was graced by a host of county leaders, including Kee Ward MCA Urbanus Manzu, who praised the Governor for championing rural electrification and water extension projects that have already begun transforming the lives of the people in Kivani-Kee.
Also present were County Assembly Majority Leader Kisungi wa Katete, CECMs Nicholas Nzioka (Devolution) and Japheth Mang’oka (Water), along with MCAs Kyalo Mumo (Tulimani), Bishop Jonathan Muthoka (Ilima), and Jackson Ndolo.
