The meeting comes days after President Ruto and his deputy Kithure Kindiki concluded a five-day development tour of the Mt Kenya region with a strong commitment to ensure the timely completion of ongoing projects.

The two leaders traversed all nine counties in the region, inspecting multi-billion-shilling infrastructure projects and launching several new initiatives expected to be completed within the next year.

On the final day of the tour, Saturday, April 5, 2025, the President led an extensive inspection of key projects in Nyeri Town and Othaya in Nyeri County, as well as Githunguri and Lari constituencies in Kiambu County.

Throughout the tour, the President and Deputy President visited Laikipia, Nyeri, Murang’a, Tharaka Nithi, Meru, Kiambu, Nyandarua, Embu, and Kirinyaga counties, reaffirming their dedication to inclusive development and addressing large crowds of enthusiastic residents.

The administration’s agenda for the region includes the completion of stalled road projects, acceleration of affordable housing, construction of modern markets to support small traders, better returns for coffee, tea, miraa, and dairy farmers, improved water supply, and expanded last-mile electricity connections.
