Injendi also called for patience from the residents regarding the ongoing concerns over poor road conditions, acknowledging the challenges posed by the bad weather witnessed across the country.

He expressed gratitude to the Governor for facilitating the meeting to ensure unity and preparation among Malava leaders to host the President.

During the President’s previous visit to the western region on Madaraka Day, he had toured various projects, including the renovated Matulo airstrip and several kilometers of newly tarmacked roads.

In Kakamega, he had commissioned the Khwisero KMTC and the construction of the Chekalini market in the Lugari constituency.

The upcoming visit by President Ruto and Deputy President Gachagua to Kakamega County is expected to bring further development opportunities and address the needs of the local community.
