KISII– National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has emphasised the importance of sustainable development, agricultural growth and strategic investment as key drivers of Kenya’s economic transformation.
Wetang’ula made the remarks during a visit to Kitutu Chache North Constituency in Kisii County, where he attended a Sunday service and led a fundraising drive at Orwako PAG Church following an invitation from area Member of Parliament Japheth Nyakundi.
The Speaker said the Church continues to play an important role in promoting moral values, peace and national unity.
“The Church is a key pillar of moral values in society. We continue to encourage the Church to pray for our nation so that it maintains peace and cohesion,” said Wetangula.
He described the Gusii region as one of Kenya’s important agricultural zones, noting its contribution through the production of bananas, coffee, tea, sugarcane and other crops.
Wetang’ula said the country should focus on boosting agricultural productivity, improving farmers’ earnings and strengthening food security through sustainable approaches.
He said the government’s development agenda is aimed at creating long-term economic opportunities rather than relying only on subsidy programmes.
“While addressing residents of Gesieka in Kitutu Chache North, Kisii County, I reaffirmed the government’s commitment to promoting sustainable development across the country,” he said.
The Speaker also highlighted the proposed establishment of an infrastructure fund and a national investment fund, saying the initiatives would help transform the country by supporting major development projects.
He said the funds would support critical sectors including roads, energy, water, housing and other public infrastructure while ensuring national resources are invested responsibly.
Wetangula added that proper investment and management of public resources would strengthen Kenya’s economic foundation and secure a better future for generations to come.
