He added that the government has prioritized implementation of key infrastructure projects across the region to uplift the standards of citizens and open up the region to economic take off.
“Tana River will not be left behind in development and economic empowerment. This time round the country must develop equally and Tana River as well as other areas in the coastal region that have been underdeveloped for many years, we must make sure we work shoulder to shoulder for access to equal development,” Kindiki said.
