The Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change, and Forestry, Dr. Deborah Barasa, has advocated for political unity among leaders from the Western region as a platform for economic development as opposed to retrogressive politics.
Dr. Barasa noted that the region stands a better chance to enjoy development if political leaders unite and back the re-election of President William Ruto, saying he has initiated several development projects in the region.
Let us unite for the sake of development, and let us fully support the government in its endeavours.
Political rivalry should never hinder the progress of our people she said while speaking at Shangalamwe Village, Kiminini.
The Cabinet Secretary, who spoke while distributing foodstuffs and bedding to widows in the village, said the county has been earmarked to benefit from a series of developmental projects, including the facelift of the Kitale County Hospital.
She rallied residents to embrace the fruit trees environmental conservation programme, which she said does not only strengthen food security but also creates opportunities for export.
The technical advisor to the Cabinet Secretary, Metrine Too, commended the national government for coming up with several socio-economic stimulus programmes targeting disadvantaged groups such as the youth and women.
