In Msambweni Constituency, the President will flag off the Chungani Last Mile Electricity Connectivity Project at Funzi before inspecting construction works on the Milalani-Munje-Funzi Road.

He will conclude the day’s programme with a public rally at Bomani Centre in Msambweni.

The Coast tour comes ahead of Wednesday’s planned groundbreaking of the East Africa Refinery in Lamu, which Ruto says will unlock significant investment and employment opportunities in the region.

Speaking in Lungalunga, Kwale County, during a previous title-deed issuance exercise, Ruto said the refinery is expected to attract about Sh2 trillion in investment, create approximately 60,000 jobs and supply petroleum products to eight countries in the region.

The President said the project would also help Kenya earn foreign exchange and reduce expenditure on imported refined petroleum products.

Ruto has linked the refinery to his administration’s efforts to transform the Coast region and address what he described as decades of marginalisation.
