Read briefingKirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has committed to rehabilitate roads in the vast Mwea irrigation scheme which have been in deplorable condition for a long time. Speaking during a meeting with rice farmers and local leaders, Waiguru said though maintenance of the on-farm roads lies with the National Irrigation Authority (NIA) which manages the rice scheme, the delay in rehabilitation was affecting transportation of rice from farms. The Governor committed to provide machinery and fuel to facilitate murraming of the roads which have been impassable for long, thus affecting cost of production. She said that with the upgrading, it will now be easy for rice farmers to transport their produce to the market and also reduce the cost of transport. Waiguru further urged residents of Mwea to safeguard the region’s development gains by sustaining support and constructive engagement with both levels of government. She stressed that the future prosperity of the region depends on protecting investments already made and ensuring that ongoing projects are completed. Waiguru said the area occupied a strategic place in Kirinyaga County and Kenya’s economy, given its position as the country’s leading rice-producing region and a major contributor to national food security. “Mwea’s future depends on protecting the gains we have made and advancing its prosperity through forward-looking leadership. We m...
