He will also preside over the groundbreaking of the Susan Kihika Primary and Junior Secondary School in Kiratina and unveil construction of over 2,000 affordable housing units at Pipeline Estate under the government’s Affordable Housing Programme, a key initiative designed to create jobs and promote dignified living.
Later in Gilgil Sub-County, the President will commission the Kiptangwanyi ESP Modern Market, launch the tarmacking of the Jogoo–Munanda–Tangi Tano Road, and issue title deeds to residents of Oljorai, reinforcing the government’s pledge to secure land rights and unlock investment potential in rural areas.
The tour will conclude in Naivasha Sub-County, where the Head of State is expected to launch the Kongoni–Ndabibi Road tarmacking project in Maela Ward. The new road is projected to enhance connectivity and stimulate local economic growth by improving access to markets and social amenities.
