The County Government of Meru led by Governor Kiraitu Murungi is committed to streamline infrastructure and deliver the promise of Dust-free towns in Igembe region as well as other parts of the County.

County Secretary Dr. Rufus Miriti, said that Kimongoro, Kangeta and Kiutine are earmarked for cabro upgrade to promote dust-free environmental for residents to live and do business. He announced that the historically difficult Kimongoro-Ntherone-Kisimani road has already been awarded to a contractor who will begin the works immediately the rains subside.

He urged residents to be patient and tolerant regarding the ongoing floods which he noted have destroyed roads and other infrastructure everywhere in the country, due to the high intensity of this rainy season.

Dr miriti observed that delayed and regularly contested revenue sharing and funds disbursement to Counties by the National Government has played a big role in the delay of implementation of County Government Projects, most of which have already gone through all phases but get held up by the slow to late release of the finances by the National Treasury.

He spoke at Athimba Primary School in Kanuni Ward, Igembe South, where he graced the wedding ceremony for Mr. Silas Kirimi and Miss Caroline Karimi.

CS Miriti also welcomed the residents of Igembe to the Jamhuri Celebrations which will be held for the first time in the region, at Maua Primary School, on 12th this month.

His sentiments were supported by Kangeta MCA Hon. Romano Mwito and Kanuni's Hon. Josphat Mugambi Chairman. Hon. Romano said that the County has been grading roads everywhere, and plans are underway to intensify and expand these projects, especially through the already launched MTF Project, by the Governor. He asked political players to avoid using the floods and whether conditions to seek political relevance.
