within the county to offer the best education services to our youths,” DP said.According to Ruto, the government offered Murang’a Level 5 Hospital an ICU machine, radiology unit, installation of a urinal machine, and Sh600 million budgeted for people to cater for their health services.He projected the Kenya Kwanza manifestos which

addition, and manufacturing companies for job creation. “Our youth need jobs and businesses, not ‘tibim’. Our Kenya Kwanza government is planning to budget Sh100 billion for the housing program, value addition,
agro-processing, and manufacturing reforms as a way of creating job
opportunities for the Kenyan youths,” he said. Ruto also stated that his government will spend Sh15 billion on Micro and Small
