President Uhuru Kenyatta and National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga are set to visit the Nyanza region where they will launch water projects, Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa has revealed.
Wamalwa failed to give a specific date for the visit while speaking during a fundraiser at Sirembe Mixed Secondary School in Gem Sub-County.
He disclosed that they would launch a Sh2.1 Billion project in Siaya County funded by the National Government and the African Development Bank (AfDB).
Wamalwa noted that the project is expected to provide an adequate supply of clean water to at least 190,000 residents.
The next phase of the project will cost Sh1.6 Billion and will cover the Ugunja, Sega and Ukwala areas.

Wamalwa maintained that political affiliation should not matter when it comes to delivery of services to the Kenyan people.
“We should not let anything divide us again. The unity of purpose is our course and should be our focus henceforth to bring prosperity to our country and move it forward. Things have changed and most development projects have kicked off,” he affirmed.
He further praised the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between President Kenyatta and Raila expressing confidence that it would spur development in the counties.
“It is my wish as the CS in charge of devolution to see the golden handshake between the two leaders embraced even in counties.
"I am happy that the parliamentarians are already endorsed the code between former Prime Minister Raila and President Uhuru,” Wamalwa conveyed.
