The government is implementing development programmes to meet the current pressing needs while addressing the long-term needs of the citizenry across the country.

Ministry of Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary (CS) Opiyo Wandayi said the Government has designed development programmes that address the unique and diverse populations.

He said that there is no region or part of the country that is being excluded on any basis in terms of development.

“Development projects are being done equally because the plan of President William Ruto is that there is no place in the country that will be left behind in terms of development; we are awakening every area of this country with ongoing developments,” he noted.

Speaking during the launch of rural electrification projects at Sababe and Mache B Villages in Malava Sub County on Friday, the CS welcomed criticism as a responsive government, which he said should be done within the confines of the law in order to protect lives and properties and minimise derailing the gains the country has achieved.

The Electrification programme is being done by the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (REREC) in collaboration with the Kenya Power (KP) to light up rural communities.

Through the programme, REREC will connect 95 homesteads at Mache B village and 50 homesteads at Sababe Village to the National Grid.
