CS Kindiki urges unity, commits to fast-tracking completion of stalled roads

CSKindiki, alongside Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir and other government officials, oversaw the resumption of the 40.5 km Engineer-Mbiginano-Gathara-Tulaga-Mbirithi-Chuma Road Project in Kinangop, Nyandarua County.

The road project, which had stalled during the previous administration due to financial constraints, is now fully funded and part of the government’s larger initiative to complete delayed infrastructure projects and launch new ones crucial to economic transformation.

Speaking at the event, Kindiki urged Kenyans to remain united, regardless of ethnic, religious, or social differences, and called for dedication in serving the nation.

“We must work together without considering tribe, religion, social class, or rank. Let us serve the people with dedication and uphold the unity of our nation,” he said. 

He underscored the need for continued national cohesion, stating, “As we continue in unity, we will have one Kenya without divisions. We are one people, one flag, one nation.”

Kindiki also directed contractors working on government projects to prioritize hiring unskilled and semi-skilled labor from local communities, ensuring that development benefits the people at the grassroots level.

“Contractors must ensure that local jobs requiring unskilled and semi-skilled workers are reserved for local residents,” Kindiki noted.

In his remarks, CS Kindiki also instructed County Commissioners across the country to ensure timely completion of all government projects, noting that efficient execution was key to giving citizens value for their tax money.

“County Commissioners must ensure that all development projects in their areas are completed within the stipulated time so that our people get value for their money,” he added.

While avoiding any comment on the ongoing political tension surrounding Gachagua’s potential impeachment, Kindiki maintained that the government’s focus is on advancing development projects aimed at improving infrastructure and uplifting the lives of Kenyans. 

He assured citizens of the government's commitment to delivering on its promises and speeding up national transformation efforts.

The resumption of the Engineer-Mbiginano-Gathara-Tulaga-Mbirithi-Chuma Road Project is seen as a significant step in boosting transportation and connectivity in the region, facilitating the movement of goods and people, and contributing to the broader economic agenda of the current administration.
