Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa has said his administration is prioritising stalled mega projects initiated by his predecessor, Wyclife Oparanya, as part of efforts to transform the devolved unit.
The county chief said his government is also pursuing projects in health, agriculture and sports, noting that the investments are already improving the lives of residents.
Speaking when he hosted a delegation from Standard Group led by Chief Executive Officer Chaacha Mwita, Barasa expressed confidence that his administration has delivered on most of its promises, particularly in infrastructure and health, as he positions himself for a second term ahead of the 2027 General Election.
“My focus has been to complete the stalled mega projects I inherited from my predecessor. We are currently collaborating with the national government to complete the Kakamega Level Six Hospital, which will be one of the largest health facilities in the country with a bed capacity of 750. The project is expected to be completed by November this year,” said Barasa.
