Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has stepped up her administration's climate resilience and development agenda with the rollout of a broad range of community-focused projects aimed at tackling environmental challenges, improving livelihoods, and promoting clean energy.

The governor led the distribution of 5,800 free gas cylinders to households across the county in a public event attended by Kirinyaga residents at Kamiigua Grounds in Kutus.

The initiative, she said, is part of an ongoing effort to reduce the use of firewood and charcoal, protect forests, and safeguard the health of women and children exposed to indoor smoke. "As a county, we are no longer just reacting to climate change.

We are responding with sustainable and people-driven solutions.
