A high-powered team led by Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba and Kisii Governor Simba Arati has kicked off a regional tour across Gusii. The goal is to update residents on stalled government projects, including plans to revive the decommissioned Suneka Airstrip.
This visit comes barely three weeks after Gusii leaders held a meeting with President William Ruto at State House in Nairobi.
Speaking on Friday in Suneka, Bonchari, CS Ogamba revealed that government experts have already been deployed to re-assess the site and draft a new construction plan for the airstrip.
“The Kenya Kwanza Administration is committed to expanding transport infrastructure nationwide,” Ogamba said. “The construction and re-commissioning of Suneka Airstrip is a key part of these efforts, which aim to boost economic growth.”
Other Projects Set for Revival
The government also announced plans to revamp several stalled projects in the region, including:
Kisii Prison upgrades
Gusii Stadium renovations
Major road expansions across Gusii
Call for Unity and Support
The leaders urged residents to stay united and support the government’s development agenda. They assured locals that these initiatives will create jobs, improve infrastructure, and spur economic growth in the region.
