Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka has announced plans for the construction of a sewer line in Kimilili Municipality at a cost of Sh1.5 billion.
Speaking to parishioners at St. Leo Catholic Church in Kimilili, Governor Lusaka confirmed that the National Treasury, in partnership with the African Development Bank, will fund the upgrade of the municipality’s sewer system to enhance sanitation and provide long-term health benefits to the populous sub-county while at the same time improving drainage and sanitation for local residents.
Lusaka said that the construction of the sewer line is a vital step towards improving the living conditions of residents and ensuring better hygiene in Kimilili.
“I take this opportunity to urge county leaders to prioritize development over political rhetoric,” Lusaka said.
The county boss said that it is essential that leaders focus on the responsibilities entrusted to them and work towards realizing tangible development in communities.
Governor Lusaka pledged Sh1 million towards the purchase of a bus for St. Leo Catholic Church and donated 50 bags of cement to aid in the church’s ongoing renovations.
