Cabinet Secretary of Energy and Petroleum Opiyo Wandayi returned to Migori County and, together with H.E. Ochilo Ayacko, Governor of Migori County, and Hon Tom Odege, Member of Parliament for Nyatike Constituency, presided over the flag off of materials for the commencement of the Kenya Power Bolo Village Last Mile Electrification Project at Opodo Primary School in Muhuru Bay, Nyatike Sub County. This event underscores the national government’s unwavering dedication to its development agenda, particularly in expanding electricity access to remote rural areas that have long been excluded from the benefits of modern infrastructure.
