Kirinyaga Governor Ann Waiguru has praised President Uhuru Kenyatta for the amazing transformation of Mwea prior to the Mashujaa Day celebrations.
Waiguru made reference to the Wang’uru Stadium which she said was a muddy mess until last year.
“We were forced to use gumboots the last time you visited Mwea. Today the transformative is tremendous,” she said.
The transformation of the stadium and access roads has been positively talked about by most residents who spoke to The Star.
Mercy Kamanda, a resident told the Star that the reconstruction of the stadium gave job opportunities to many people in the area.“We were contracted to help with works like carrying materials to the site and the process itself,” she said.
Kamanda, said she got an opportunity to sell food items to the workers at the construction site.
“I paused my vegetables selling business because selling cooked food to the site workers was more rewarding,” she said.
Waiguru also said that Kirinyaga County has so far vaccinated 105, 000 people.
She said that the country is in the process of upgrading medical facilities to provide better healthcare services to the people.
The governor said that a 42-bed capacity medical complex was near completion and would soon be operative.
She said that two other hospitals would be upgraded from level two to level three.
