“The project will safeguard and restore access to vital institutions and infrastructure, including Musoma Primary and Secondary Schools, Mau Mau Trading Centre, Musoma Shopping Centre, and households currently at risk of displacement,” he said.

During the launch of the secondary dyke extension for the River Nzoia flood control project in Budalang’i, Busia County, President Ruto was joined by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang’ula, as well as various Members of Parliament and County Assembly representatives.
