Taking to his social media after the launch, the Head of State noted that his administration is focused on projects that directly impact the lives of ordinary citizens.

Moreover, while addressing residents, President Ruto hinted at plans to extend the Affordable Housing Programme to Emali, noting that urban development should also reach smaller towns, not just major cities.
