This ministry will open up roads leading to our rural areas in readiness for Investments. Our town roads will be Managed and maintained to our national standards for easy and safe access to boost trade, investments and tourism. We will employ best engineering standards in all our construction works in making all our constructions durable. In this regard, we have set aside adequate funds for road construction, road maintenance, bridges and toll stations as part of the infrastructural developments. I therefore urge all the residents and stakeholders of Kakamega to support our development projects initiatives for us to realize our objectives as a County.
The department of Energy is ably led by the CEC Member and Chief Officer, Ministry of Roads, public Works and Energy. Through their efforts and that of staff under them, Renewable Energy activities, have received great support.
