President
William Ruto met with political leaders from the Gusii region at State House
Nairobi.
The delegation was led by Kisii Governor Simba Arati, who represented the region during discussions with the President.
This was the second time that Ruto was meeting leaders from the region within a month ahead of his impending tour of Gusiiland.
The meeting provides an opportunity for the leaders to engage directly with President Ruto on issues affecting the Gusii community and the wider region.
Discussions focused on development priorities like Gusii stadium, Kisii cancer centre, Suneka airstrip and road projects as confirmed by leaders from Gusii.
Economic empowerment and the ongoing efforts to improve service delivery were also among the set discussion agenda.
Among those present were prominent political figures, including ODM party leader Raila Odinga and Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba, who joined the gathering to show unity and support for the region’s development agenda.
The dialogue between the President and the Gusii leaders reflects the government’s commitment to inclusivity and addressing the needs of all communities across Kenya.
It also underscores the importance of collaboration between national and county leadership in driving growth and stability.
The meeting at State House, Nairobi, is seen as a positive step towards strengthening partnerships between the national government and regional leaders, with the aim of fostering peace, progress and prosperity in the Gusii region.
