Governor Wavinya Ndeti today reaffirmed her status as a powerhouse of transformative leadership, launching a series of high-impact development projects that left no doubt about her administration’s relentless commitment to uplifting every corner of Machakos County. At the top of the day’s agenda was the commissioning of the Kyumvi Fire and Rescue Center, a state-of-the-art emergency facility on the Nairobi–Mombasa Highway, now part of the county’s unmatched network of six fire stations. With 24-hour emergency response, trauma counselling, and support services, the center not only protects lives it underscores Machakos’s position as the national leader in disaster preparedness. Governor Ndeti lauded the role of development partners including Purple Dot, the CDC, and the Kenya Red Cross for making the vision a reality.
Her dedication to infrastructure improvement was evident in her personal inspection of the Kyumvi Shrine Road rehabilitation, where grading, drainage, and culvert installation works are steadily progressing. This is more than a road it’s a symbol of connectivity and economic inclusion. But Wavinya’s impact did not stop there. She also presided over the commissioning of the Masai Borehole at Kyumbi in Kinanie Ward, bringing free, clean water to over 300 households. Silencing political propaganda with hard facts, the governor reminded residents that the borehole was her initiative as Kathiani MP, leaving her rivals scrambling in the face of truth and service-backed leadership.
In Nthuluni, the governor’s development tour continued with even more powerful grassroots interventions. She officially opened the Nthuluni ECDE classroom, offering young learners a dignified and safe learning environment. Nearby, the Nthuluni Weir was unveiled to support water conservation and irrigation, boosting agricultural sustainability in the area. Taking it a step further, Governor Ndeti introduced a Value Addition unit at the Nthuluni River Project, ensuring farmers no longer sell raw produce but benefit from processed, higher-value goods. These initiatives are designed to spark long-term economic empowerment and local resilience.
To cap off her action-packed day, the governor launched an Empowerment Program providing poultry to women’s groups, a clear demonstration of her administration’s gender-inclusive development model. This initiative, aimed at promoting income-generating activities for rural women, echoes her broader mission to ensure prosperity reaches every household. With eight major projects in a single day ranging from water, education, agriculture, emergency services, to women empowerment Governor Wavinya Ndeti is not just ticking boxes; she is writing a new legacy of fearless, focused, and people-first leadership in Machakos County.
