Kilgoris Member of Parliament Julius Sunkuli has launched two completed projects under the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), marking a significant progress in Trans Mara.
The projects include the opening of a vital link road between Isokon and Epurkel areas, as well as the handing over of the newly constructed Chief’s Office at Isokon Location.
Speaking during the commissioning ceremony, Sunkuli proudly stated that the Chief’s Office is the first of its kind since the establishment of Trans Mara south sub county.
“For the first time, locals now have a dedicated office to reach their Chief, instead of having to visit them at home in search of services,” said Sunkuli.
The MP emphasized the importance of the NG-CDF, noting that it is the only fund that the community truly feels has had a direct impact on development.
Sunkuli vowed to defend the CDF in the National Assembly, ensuring it remains separate from other government funds.
He said the newly opened link road, built through the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERA) will ease movement and transportation. He expressed optimism that more roads will be developed in the constituency in the near future to enhance connectivity.
Echoing the MP’s sentiments, Deputy County Commissioner (DCC), Trans Mara South sub county, Muhammed Jubat praised the construction of the Chief’s Office, stating that it is the first one ever built in Trans Mara South Sub- County.
Cecilia Sapalan, KERA Kilgoris Constituency, also praised the government’s efforts, noting that the new link roads would greatly assist locals in transporting their produce to nearby town centers.
