During his visit to the Lurambi Affordable Housing Project, the President highlighted the importance of such initiatives in addressing the housing deficit and improving the living standards of Kenyans.

Ruto’s visit also included interactions with local traders and residents at Musanda, Sabatia, Ekero, and Shianda markets. He announced plans to construct 15 new markets in Kakamega County to empower local businesses and enhance economic opportunities.
“We will build 15 new markets in Kakamega County to further empower businesses in the region,” he assured.
The President’s emphasis on unity and development was well-received by the residents, who expressed optimism about the transformative projects underway.
The government’s focus on infrastructure, housing, and market development is expected to significantly contribute to the economic upliftment of Kakamega County and the broader Western Kenya region.
