Candidate announcement
Road construction, electricity connectivity and proposed dam investments featured prominently as President William Ruto continued his development tour of the North Rift, with West Pokot County the focus of several infrastructure announcements on the tour’s third day.
The President began his engagements in Konyao, Kacheliba Constituency, where he launched the Konyao–Kiwawa–Alale road and flagged off the first phase of a major electricity connectivity programme.
The road is part of a stated Ksh 21 billion investment to construct 200 kilometres of roads across West Pokot County. The programme is intended to improve connectivity and open up the region to greater economic opportunities.
