President William Ruto's government is set to roll out a series of major projects in the Nyanza region, aimed at reviving the sleeping economy in counties considered to be ODM Party leader Raila Odinga's stronghold.

These developments were revealed by Deputy Chief of Staff in the Executive Office of the President, Eliud Owalo, who comprehensively outlined the government's ambitious plan during a special church service in Rarieda, Siaya County.

During the event, Owalo noted that the Nyanza region had been marginalised in terms of development in recent years due to what he termed as "bad politics".

While reiterating Ruto's broad-based government, Owalo noted 10 tangible projects the government had identified in the greater Nyanza region, including the extension of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), which he claims would extend from Naivasha through to Kisumu, Asembo to Ugenya and towards the Malaba border.
