โPresident William Ruto is on the right development trajectory,โ Lusaka said. โThe strategic NaivashaโKisumuโMalaba SGR expansion and the RironiโMau SummitโMalaba highway dual carriageway projects will enhance the countryโs regional connectivity and transportation.โ
He noted that the expansion of the SGR and the highway will significantly boost economic activities in Bungoma and the broader Western Kenya region.
