President William Ruto has announced a KSh5.1 billion development package for the Gusii region, targeting improvements in healthcare, education, infrastructure and market facilities.
Speaking during an interdenominational church service at Nyamaiya Stadium in Nyamira County on Sunday, November 8, the President outlined several projects aimed at strengthening service delivery and stimulating economic activities in the region.
The package includes KSh1.7 billion for the construction of a Level Five hospital in Nyamira County and a similar allocation for Kisii Hospital.
The two healthcare projects account for KSh3.4 billion and are expected to improve access to specialised medical services while reducing the need for patients to seek treatment outside the region.
In the education sector, the President announced KSh500 million towards a university project and another KSh200 million for university hostels.
The government also plans to construct 10 new markets across Nyamira County, with KSh150 million allocated towards market infrastructure and common-user facilities.
The proposed investments are expected to create opportunities for small-scale traders, farmers and other local businesses.
Ruto further highlighted ongoing road infrastructure projects, including the Nyamaiya Road, saying improved transport networks would facilitate the movement of people and goods.
The announcement comes as the government continues to pursue its development agenda across different regions of the country.
