The upgrading of the Stella–Sibuoche–Gogo Falls Road to bitumen standard in Uriri Constituency, Migori County, is the first-ever tarmac road within the constituency, coming 63 years after independence under the current regime. The project is part of the National Government's infrastructure programme covering more than 1,490 kilometres of roads under construction, planned or being upgraded across the larger Nyanza Region. The 53-kilometre project aims to unlock South Nyanza's economic potential through improved connectivity. The road links eastern and western Migori and currently serves as an important diversion route during the reconstruction of the Migori River Bridge along the A1 highway. Once complete, it will shorten journeys, lower transport costs, ease the movement of agricultural produce and improve access to the popular Gogo Falls attraction. Improved connectivity will bring government services closer to rural communities while opening new avenues for trade, tourism and investment. The State Department for Internal Security and National Administration will continue supporting local security coordination to ensure safer transport corridors and an enabling environment for rural economic growth.

Nurturing grassroots football and athletics talent across Nyanza, the modernisation of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Stadium in Siaya Town is positioning the facility as a catalyst for sports tourism, regional tournaments and local enterprise, particularly as Kenya prepares to host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. The project, launched by H.E. President @WilliamsRuto in January 2025, is progressing well through a partnership between the national and county governments. To deliver a facility that meets international standards, the project was placed under the Ministry of Defence, with Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) engineers undertaking construction. Phase One has delivered a FIFA-standard 110-by-68-metre football pitch, VVIP lounges, modern changing rooms and an outdoor basketball court. Phase Two is expanding spectator capacity from 5,500 to 20,000, with five new terraces and structural works for an all-round roof canopy. The stadium also features an eight-lane, 400-metre red-tartan athletics track, creating a platform for national, continental and international competitions. Sports infrastructure also contributes to safer and more vibrant communities by providing young people with constructive opportunities while supporting organised public activity. In this regard, the State Department for Internal Security and National Administration continues to coordinate with relevant stakeholders to support a secure environment around the facility and its growing sporting activities.

The reconstruction of the Migori River Bridge by the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) is restoring a vital link along the Kisii–Migori–Isebania (A1) highway. The original structure succumbed to the combined strain of severe historical flooding and the heavy loads of commercial cargo, disrupting transport and trade along the Kenya–Tanzania corridor. The bridge is being built wider and stronger to accommodate growing traffic volumes and Migori's expanding urban economy. The State Department for Internal Security and National Administration will continue supporting road safety and security coordination along this critical trade route, helping protect road users, facilitate cross-border commerce and sustain the safe movement of people and goods.

The just conclude Mashujaa Day celebrations have had a lasting impact beyond the national ceremony. For residents of Eldoret, hosting such a national event brought new economic opportunities for traders, transport operators, hospitality businesses and other local enterprises. It also placed the host city in the national spotlight, opening doors for tourism, investment and future growth. We appreciate the residents, local leaders and all those who worked tirelessly to make the celebrations a success. Your contribution reaffirms the collective effort required to deliver an event of national significance.

Kenya's expanding cyberspace under the Digital Superhighway initiative of the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) is opening new pathways for young people to acquire digital skills, access global markets and build sustainable livelihoods. In Siaya, the Community Digital Hub is turning this ambition into opportunity by equipping young people with practical, market-driven skills and connecting them to remote work. Founded by Siaya Senator and ODM Party Leader @DrOburu_O and officially inaugurated by H.E. President @WilliamsRuto in March 2026, the hub currently serves about 150 learners and is powered entirely by solar energy. With 200 computers, it offers affordable training in areas including data analysis, digital marketing, basic cybersecurity, graphic design, video production, programming, web development and networking, with most programmes running for six months. The facility also provides free public internet, a business incubator and co-working space, alongside a BPO centre that connects digital workers to local and international clients. It is the first community digital hub in Kenya to establish a BPO centre, marking a significant step in expanding digitally enabled work beyond the major urban centres. The hub is expanding its learning portfolio through Jaramogi Training College, a registered AI-focused college set to launch in November. It is also working with CBOs, KUPPET Siaya Branch and other partners to widen digital literacy, while preparing to host the inaugural Nyanza Digital Summit from 2–4 December 2026 in collaboration with the Ministry and other stakeholders. The State Department for Internal Security and National Administration continues to support coordination with stakeholders to maintain a secure environment around the facility, protect critical digital infrastructure and promote cybersecurity awareness.

Ramogi Achieng' Oneko's life carries the ache of a freedom that came at an extraordinary cost. One of the Kapenguria Six, he was arrested by the colonial government in 1952 and spent years in detention, separated from the home and country he longed to see free. Even after independence, imprisonment found him again under the government of his former comrade, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. He lived long enough to witness the dawn he had sacrificed so much to bring, yet freedom did not spare him every disappointment. He died in 2007, the last surviving member of the Kapenguria Six. Today, his story leaves us with a haunting question; what becomes of the dreams of those who suffer for a nation when the years pass, the voices fall silent and the country they fought for moves on without remembering the full weight of their sacrifice? Presided over by H.E. President @WilliamsRuto, the launch of 'The Price of Freedom', the biography of freedom fighter Achieng' Oneko, marked a fitting culmination of this year's Mashujaa Day celebrations at Eldoret State Lodge.

Presided over by H.E. President @WilliamsRuto and graced by the Ethiopian Prime Minister @AbiyAhmedAli, with other national leaders, we joined fellow Kenyans at Kipchoge Keino Stadium in Eldoret City, Uasin Gishu County, for the 63rd Mashujaa Day celebrations.

Lumumba Estate, Kisumu

As we celebrate the 63rd Mashujaa Day under the theme Security, Sports and the Economy, we honour the heroes and heroines whose courage, sacrifice and service have shaped our nation. The Government remains committed to safeguarding lives and property, upholding the rule of law and strengthening public cooperation to sustain the security essential for sports, economic growth and national development. May this Mashujaa Day renew our collective commitment to patriotism, national unity and service to our country. Happy 63rd Mashujaa Day!

Kisumu's historic Lumumba Estate is being given a new lease of life, with its familiar legacy giving way to a modern urban neighbourhood designed for a city steadily reshaping its future. The transformation demonstrates a broader shift in Kenya's development trajectory, where ageing estates are being reimagined as modern infrastructure that advances the Kenya Beyond Vision 2030 agenda and responds to the changing aspirations of urban communities. The Lumumba Affordable Housing Project is now in its final phases, with works focused on snagging, testing of water, electrical and drainage systems, asphalt paving, street lighting and landscaping. Rising across 15 blocks of 17 floors each, the development will deliver 2,348 studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units spanning social, affordable and market-rate categories. The transformation comes at a time when Kisumu's growth as a city is intensifying demand for decent, sustainable housing. Replacing the ageing estate with a contemporary settlement therefore represents both a renewal of a familiar part of Kisumu's urban landscape and an investment in the city it is becoming. The State Department for Internal Security and National Administration continues to support the project by coordinating security, safeguarding public infrastructure and sustaining a stable environment for construction and eventual occupation.

The newly upgraded Kipchoge Keino Stadium and associated infrastructure in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County, are ready for this year’s Mashujaa Day celebrations under the theme Security, Sports and the Economy. Members of the public are warmly invited to join the nation tomorrow as we honour our heroes and heroines and celebrate the role of security and sports in driving economic growth and national development.

The Dhogoye Bridge

Bridges do more than span waterways; they connect people to opportunities, services and livelihoods. At Dhogoye in Usenge, Siaya County, where the River Yala drains into Lake Victoria, the crossing has over the years been a dangerous point, with rising waters claiming lives and repeatedly disrupting movement. The ongoing construction of the Dhogoye Bridge by the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) is now restoring this vital link between Siaya and Busia counties. The Bondo–Usenge–Osieko corridor has long suffered disruptions during periods of high water, cutting communities off from markets, schools, health facilities and other essential services. Once complete, the bridge will provide a reliable all-weather crossing, improve the movement of people and goods, strengthen trade and bring communities across the lake basin closer to economic and social opportunities. Continued progress has been supported by coordination involving the State Department for Internal Security and National Administration, local leaders, communities and implementing agencies, helping address operational challenges and sustain works on site.

H.E. President @WilliamsRuto continues to demonstrate his commitment to national unity through equitable development across all regions and sectors, ensuring that people-centred infrastructure projects benefit Kenyans regardless of their political affiliations.

We continue to urge regional and grassroots leaders to complement the National Government's development efforts, particularly in education, by using the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) to improve school infrastructure and provide bursaries to learners from needy backgrounds.

'I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.' - 1 Corinthians 1:10. Joined the faithful of St. Philip Catholic Church - Makomari, Shinyalu Sub-county, Kakamega County, for Sunday Mass celebration of family. Present were MPs including the host Hon. Fredrick Ikana (Shinyalu), Hon. Dick Maungu (Luanda), Hon. Daniel Wanyama (Webuye West), Hon. Felix Odiwuor (Lang'ata), Senator Hon. Eddy Oketch (Migori County) and the National Government Administrative Officers (NGAOs) led by the Western Kenya Regional Commissioner Allan Machari.

Eldoret City's rapid expansion, driven by a growing population and increasing economic activity, is creating a rising demand for decent and affordable housing. The 226-unit Kimumu AMS Affordable Housing Project is helping address this need while supporting the City's orderly urban growth. The project has reached the superstructure stage, with the main structural works substantially complete and external works progressing. It will provide a mix of social, affordable and market-rate homes, alongside commercial spaces, parking, pedestrian walkways and recreational facilities. Designed as an integrated neighbourhood, the development also includes improved internal roads, reliable utilities and modern waste-management systems. Security planning is being strengthened through coordinated inter-agency efforts, with the State Department for Internal Security and National Administration supporting measures to safeguard the growing residential and public infrastructure.

Congratulations to @policebullets FC on securing a 1–0 victory over Trinity Starlets Football Club at Afraha Stadium, Nakuru. Keep shooting for victory, Bullets!

The Government remains committed to strengthening security to protect lives and property, safeguard communities and build public confidence. A secure environment is equally vital in attracting investment, encouraging enterprise and enabling businesses to thrive, create jobs and contribute to sustainable economic growth.

The Kenya Kwanza Administration, through the Broad-based Government, continues to champion inclusive and equitable development by bringing Kenyans together around the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA). This approach has strengthened national cohesion, broadened participation in governance and development, and fostered a shared commitment to advancing economic transformation and improving the lives of all Kenyans, regardless of their socio-political or regional backgrounds. With other leaders, we joined H.E. President @WilliamsRuto for a public engagement with residents of Eldoret City, Uasin Gishu County.
