Kithure Kindiki yesterday embarked on an inspection tour of Meru County's Aggregation and Industrial Park (CAIP), in Ruiri Rwa Reera, Buuri Constituency to review the construction progress and overall readiness of the facility.

During the tour, the Deputy President who was accompanied by Meru Governor Isaac Mutuma, Senator Kathuri Murungi and a majority of MCAs led by their speaker Ayub Bundi reviewed the construction progress which is part of a larger national plan to boost agro-industrial development at the county level.
