Proper drainage will help water find a good flow to the river without destroying property and causing havoc,” Governor Bii said while addressing a crowd at the Pilot area in Huruma estate.
The County boss emphasised that his objective for the massive road projects program that will benefit the entire county is to ensure people are living better lives and also business people are supported to prosper.

“I want to thank the governor for equal distribution of ward development fund of 40 Million Shillings to all wards.”
“We have measures to ensure all estates are safe, we urged you to cooperate with us for the success of this project. We are going to work across all wards,” CECM Eng Lagat added, in statements corroborated by Sports and ICT, Executive, Eng Lucy Ng’endo.
