In addition to civic participation, the leaders mentioned significant government investments in South B. They revealed that KSh 2.7 billion has been set aside for various development projects aimed at improving residents’ lives.
One key project is the construction of a modern market. This market is designed to boost trade and offer a safe, organized working environment for traders. It is expected to particularly support small-scale entrepreneurs and women traders, which will increase economic activity in the area.
Residents were also informed about the rehabilitation and upgrading of roads. This has helped improve mobility, cut transport costs, and enhance safety for both drivers and pedestrians.
