Ruto: No region will be locked out of development

President William Ruto has said he will run an inclusive government that will accommodate all Kenyans regardless of their political affiliations.

He spoke on Saturday when he visited Migori during his last lap of the three-day development tour in South Nyanza.

"I will not allow any part of the country to be locked out of the development of our country," he said.

"I will also not allow anyone to discriminate Kenyans from any community because that is not the kind of Kenya we are building."

During the day, Ruto launched the construction of three roads which will help stimulate the region's economic growth.

He commissioned the Senta – Nyamtiro – Isebania road (Phase I) (Kuria East) and Nyabohanse -Kumumwamu road (Kuria West) and Nyarach -Nyaburu – Oboke – Rangwe (Rongo).

He pledged that the Stella – Sibuoche – Gogo – Oyani Road, a key project in Uriri Constituency, will be built and completed in 18 months.

The President said Sh3 billion has been set aside for the Gogo power plant to increase its capacity from two to eight megawatts to meet the region's power demand.

He also said that the Ministry of Health will spend Sh50 million on the expansion of Pino Owacho Hospital in Uriri.

Ruto handed over 100 computers at Mabera Technical and Vocational College Digital Empowerment Centre.

He said the government is distributing computers to enhance ICT training in TVETs.

"Each college will receive 100 computers that will equip over 500,000 students in TVETs with skills that are in demand in the digital economy market," he said. 

Ruto was accompanied by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Prime CS Musalia Mudavadi, CSs Eliud Owalo (ICT), Ezekiel Machogu (Education) and MPs Mark Nyamita (Uriri), Caroli Omondi (Suba South) and Phelix Odiwour alias Jalang'o (Lang'ata) among others.
