The need for construction of classrooms at Kiguru and KK Muthangene.

Persistent water shortages, calling for the activation of the Kubio Giant Water Project.

Poor road conditions, especially along the Muthanga feeder road.

The absence of a bridge at Kangethia, affecting connectivity.

Inadequate street lighting, compromising market security and access.


Governor Mutuma assured residents of swift and sustainable interventions, with a priority focus on education, health, water, and infrastructure.
