“This project will be included in the government budget even in the next financial year making it a continuing project,” he said.
Munene expressed optimism that the road will create employment opportunities for the youth adding that when completed it will enable residents have easier access to markets.

He revealed some of the roads that will be under construction during his tenure include Kibugua-Itugururu road, Chuka-Kaanwa-Kathwana road and Ndagani feeder roads.
The President has restored the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), he noted and added that the funds will be disbursed within the next two to three weeks to allow for allocation of bursaries.
“The CDF money will be distributed in the next two to three weeks and we will ensure there is equal disbursement of the fund in the constituency,” he said.
At the same time, the MP disclosed that the KK Ndagani water project is set to be completed in February and will be handed over by the contractors ready for use.

Meanwhile, the MP reminded residents to register for fertilizers distribution at their nearest chiefs’ camp and requested the elderly to register for the cash transfer program to receive the funds.
