President Ruto meets Mt. Kenya leaders ahead of regional tour

The meeting was attended by Deputy President Prof. Kithure Kindiki, governors from the region, several cabinet secretaries, and principal secretaries.

Sources familiar with the discussions indicated that the leaders reviewed several stalled projects within Mt. Kenya and urged the president to expedite their revival.

Additionally, they raised concerns over the recent increase in water tariffs across multiple counties, arguing that the rising costs were making the essential commodity unaffordable for many residents.
