Friday, March 7, 2025 - President William Ruto has outlined an ambitious development agenda for Nyanza, a region historically aligned with opposition leader Raila Odinga.
This follows the signing of a political alliance between
Ruto and Raila, signaling a significant shift ahead of the 2027 General

major infrastructure, energy, and economic projects aimed at strengthening ties
with the region.
These include the construction of the
Lake Region Ring Road, Koru-Soin and Magwagwa Dams, and efforts to revitalize
the sugar and cotton industries.
Additionally, plans are underway to

facilities in Kuria and Kisii.
Below are some of the projects lined up
in various counties in Nyanza.
