Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr. has reinforced his administration’s commitment to improving livelihoods and expanding essential services after leading a major socio-economic empowerment programme in Matiliku.
During the event, Governor Mutula distributed economic empowerment tools, including tents, public address systems, chairs, cooking utensils, and 268 cooking gas cylinders to community groups, churches, and small businesses to boost income generating activities and promote clean cooking.
The Governor also announced that the Makueni County Government, in partnership with the M-Pesa Foundation, will construct a KSh 65 million maternity wing at Matiliku Sub County Hospital, a project expected to significantly improve access to quality maternal healthcare.
In a further boost to the local economy, Mutula revealed that Makueni has secured 12 new export markets for its mangoes and is pursuing the reopening of Middle East markets to enhance farmers’ earnings. He also noted that the proposed Matiliku High Court will stimulate business growth while improving access to justice for residents.
