President William Ruto announced a Ksh11.5 billion investment package for Nyamira County during a visit on November 8, 2026. The funds will support road and electricity projects, including 180 kilometers of new roads and power connections for 6,840 households. The announcement came as Ruto launched construction of the Bondeni-Magombo Road.
Ruto’s visit included a stop at Nyamira Stadium, where he attended an interdenominational church service. The event marked the start of a four-day development tour in the Gusii region. The tour aims to highlight government initiatives and engage local communities.
Nyamira County has been a focus of Ruto’s campaign efforts ahead of upcoming elections. The infrastructure projects are part of a broader strategy to improve public services and economic opportunities. The government has emphasized the importance of connectivity and access to electricity as key drivers of regional development.
The investment reflects ongoing efforts to address infrastructure gaps in rural areas. Previous government reports have noted the need for improved transportation networks and reliable energy access in Nyamira. This visit underscores the county’s strategic importance in national development plans.
