The Principal Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration, Raymond Omollo, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to ensuring that development reaches every part of the country.
He noted that ongoing investments in infrastructure, education, healthcare and public administration are transforming lives and creating opportunities for communities across Kenya.
Speaking during a church service at Suneka District SDA Church, PS Omollo said development aimed at improving the welfare of all Kenyans regardless of their region, ethnicity or political affiliation.
The Principal Secretary noted that major government programmes are being implemented across the country, including the expansion of road networks, education infrastructure, healthcare services, affordable housing projects and administrative units, ensuring that no community is left behind in the nation’s development journey.
He highlighted the government’s significant investment in education, noting that more than 100,000 teachers have been recruited over the past three years while over 23,000 classrooms have been constructed to improve access to quality education and enhance learning outcomes for children across the country.
Omollo urged parents to complement government efforts by prioritising education and ensuring that children remain in school while also participating in faith-based programmes that promote discipline, integrity and responsible citizenship.
The Principal Secretary further announced progress towards the upgrading of Suneka Airstrip, noting that implementation processes had been concluded and that the contractor is expected to commence works shortly.
He said the project will enhance connectivity, facilitate business and investment, and reduce the need for residents to travel long distances to access air transport services.
He also revealed that the Government is fast-tracking the operationalisation of several gazetted administrative units within Bonchari Constituency and other parts of Kisii county.
The move will bring government services closer to wananchi and improve access to critical services such as national identification cards, birth certificates and other public services.
On healthcare, Omollo called upon residents to register under the Social Health Authority (SHA), noting that increased enrollment will ensure more families benefit from affordable and accessible healthcare services.

He observed that Kisii County
has made notable progress in registration but urged
residents to work towards universal coverage so that no one is left behind.
The Principal Secretary emphasised that development can only thrive in a peaceful and stable environment and urged wananchi to reject violence, destruction of property and political intolerance.
He called on citizens to embrace dialogue,
unity and constructive engagement as key ingredients for sustainable development.
Omollo commended leaders from across the region for coming together in support of the church fundraiser, describing their unity as a demonstration that development is accelerated when leaders work together for the common good.
He also lauded the Church for its enduring role in promoting moral values, social cohesion, peace and community development, noting that faith-based institutions remain important partners in the country’s development agenda.
“The transformation of our country requires partnership between Government, the Church, community leaders and citizens. When we work together, we can build stronger communities, create more opportunities for our people and secure a brighter future for generations to come,” said Omollo.
The church service brought together church leaders, elected leaders, Government officials and members of the public in support of ongoing development initiatives within the Suneka District SDA Church.
