Cabinet Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Professor Kithure Kindiki, toured Tharaka Nithi County in the Mt Kenya region to preside over the launch of the fourth Medium Term Plan for 2023 to 2027.

He reassured the public that with the stabilization of the economy, the Mt Kenya region would soon witness tangible development initiatives.”
The same way you are going to see more of me both on official duties and during weekends when I have a moment to come and have social interaction with my neighbours, you will also see the President more often,” said Kindiki, underscoring the administration’s commitment to staying connected with the local populace.
During the launch, Kindiki emphasized the Kenya Kwanza administration’s dedication to key sectors such as agricultural production, value addition, manufacturing, healthcare, and the digital and creative economy.
These sectors, he noted, are crucial for the overall development and economic growth of the region and the country at large.

He highlighted the administration’s focus on investing in agriculture, which is a vital sector for the region’s economy, promising improvements in value addition processes that would benefit local farmers and producers.
Furthermore, Kindiki outlined plans for boosting the manufacturing sector to create more jobs and stimulate economic activity.
The healthcare sector will also see significant investments aimed at improving access and quality of medical services for all Kenyans.
In addition, the digital and creative economy will be nurtured to leverage technology and innovation, driving Kenya towards a more modern and diversified economy
.The launch of the Medium Term Plan signifies a strategic roadmap for the country’s development over the next four years.
