Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria on Thursday revealed that Azimio leader Raila Odinga is set to host him in Bondo, Siaya County next week to launch an industrial park in the region.
Speaking during the launch of an industrial park in Trans Nzoia County, Kuria said that the agreement came after the two held discussions, with the former Prime Minister agreeing to his request.
The CS expressed his intention to utilize the opportunity to educate the opposition leader on matters pertaining to development.
"Recently, we were with Raila and I asked him if he can host me at his home area and he agreed. I might teach him a thing or two about development," Kuria said.
Additionally, the CS revealed that the Kenya Kwanza government would serve all Kenyans equally, regardless of their voting patterns in the last elections.
The Cabinet Secretary added that in the coming week, he would also launch development projects in other counties including Homa Bay, Kisii, Kisumu and Migori.
While delivering his speech, Kuria appealed to Trans Nzoia governor George Natembeya to join the Kenya Kwanza government to ensure that his constituents benefit from a cordial working relationship with the national government.
Natembeya serves as the Democratic Action Party (DAP-K) deputy leader in the Azimio coalition.
"Governor Natembeya, have you seen a fish floating on air? He was mentored by Michuki during his early years so letting him stay in the opposition is the wrong move, he belongs in the Kenya Kwanza government," he noted.
The former Gatundu South MP also explained that the government was keen on keeping its promise of creating job opportunities through the launch of the industrial park.
He ordered the contractors to ensure the industrial park is completed within seven months to enable him bring foreign investors to pump money in the project.
"We are beginning with Ksh500 million for the project. I give you seven months to complete it so that we launch it on the fourth month of the coming year.
"My work is to bring in investors which will thus create 30,000 job opportunities in this county. It's not possible that Trans Nzoia produces 25 per cent of the maize in Kenya and yet the residents lack jobs," he added.
