Speaking during a church service at Suneka District SDA Church in Bonchari Constituency, Kisii County, Omollo said the government’s development agenda is focused on improving the lives of all Kenyans regardless of region, ethnicity or political affiliation.

He said the State is implementing major projects across the country, including road construction, expansion of education infrastructure, healthcare services, affordable housing and the establishment of new administrative units to bring essential public services closer to citizens.

The PS also announced that the long-awaited upgrade of Suneka Airstrip is set to begin, saying all implementation processes have been completed and a contractor is expected to commence work soon.

According to Omollo, the project will improve connectivity, stimulate trade and investment, and spare residents the inconvenience of travelling long distances to access air transport services.

He further disclosed that the government is accelerating the operationalisation of several gazetted administrative units in Bonchari Constituency and other parts of Kisii County to improve access to services such as issuance of national identity cards, birth certificates and other government documents.

On healthcare, Omollo urged residents to register under the Social Health Authority (SHA), saying wider enrolment would enable more households to benefit from affordable and accessible healthcare. While acknowledging Kisii County’s progress in registration, he called for greater participation to achieve universal health coverage.

The Principal Secretary stressed that sustainable development can only flourish in a peaceful and secure environment, urging wananchi to reject violence, destruction of property and political intolerance.
