MP Wakili Inspects Electrification and Market Projects in Ithanga Kakuzi

Early this morning, the Member of National Assembly for Gatanga Constituency, Hon. Wakili Edward Muriu, toured Ithanga, Kakuzi to inspect key development projects currently underway. His visit focused on two major initiatives that are set to uplift the lives of local residents — rural electrification and the construction of a modern marketplace.

Key Projects Underway in Ithanga, Kakuzi

Expanding Rural Electrification

The MP confirmed that great progress is being made in bringing electricity to villages such as Kirathani, Nyaitira, and Matunda. Once complete, this project will light up homes, schools, health facilities, and local businesses.

Reliable access to electricity is expected to significantly improve the standard of living. It will also unlock new opportunities for small businesses, promote digital connectivity, and encourage innovation among the youth. For a community that has long relied on limited energy options, this development marks a major step forward.

Kaguku Modern Market Under Construction

Hon. Wakili also visited the ongoing construction of the Kaguku Modern Market. The facility is designed to provide traders and farmers with a safe, accessible, and modern space for economic activities. Once complete, the market will become a vital hub for trade, linking farmers with consumers and strengthening the local economy.

Transforming Lives Through Development

Hon. Wakili Edward Muriu’s visit to Ithanga & Kakuzi highlighted two projects that will directly uplift residents. The electrification of villages such as Kirathani, Nyaitira, and Matunda will bring light to homes, schools, and health centers, while the new Kaguku Modern Market promises a safe and vibrant space for farmers and traders. Together, these projects mark real progress in improving livelihoods across Gatanga.

A Commitment to Development

Speaking during the inspection, the MP reaffirmed his dedication to ensuring that development projects are delivered effectively across Gatanga. He emphasized that these initiatives are part of a broader vision to transform livelihoods, boost the local economy, and ensure that no part of the constituency is left behind.

With both electrification and modern market infrastructure underway, residents of Ithanga & Kakuzi can look forward to improved services, stronger economic opportunities, and a brighter future.
