Mheshimiwa. Due to intolerable security issues at Kundarrila, as residents we
engaged the administration where the DC appreciated our serious concerns and
provided us with six administration police but currently there are only two
officers as fout have not come due to lack of accommodation. Your assistance was
sought to facilitate provision of some CDF funding to put up some temporary
structures to accommodate the officers. Todate your help ha not come. We feel
that our effort to have security is being frustrated. You will see that we
support you because what we can do we do ourselves but what we cannot we surely
expect that you will find it in your herat to help. I thank oyu most sincerely
and hope that you will find this our problem deserving of your unreserved
attention.

to be called a road.

Mheshimiwa,
Thanks for your efforts in improving infrastracture in our
constituency.However you need to know that the Nyahururu-Rwathia-Siron road is a
nightmare especially now that rains are back. That road last saw a grader years
ago. The other issue we kindly request you to look into is electricity for
Kwa-Mbega area in Siron Sub-location.

You're right Naomi, after the recent rainy season, most earth roads - and that
most of all our roads - are in a poor state. But help is on the way. Our
annual maintenance program has already started. In addition, we'll be spending
over 230 million to improve roads to gravel standards, beginning this year.

I an from Sipili and i took part in 2009 population and housing census, but
unfortunately its now eight months since then yet iand some other guys have
never been paid. We are surely losing confidence with our CDF office because it
seem there is no trasparency. Does it mean we have to travel up to nairobi to
the head office? its so bad.

Hi hon,
i am from muhotetu,munyu. Laikipia west has been a hub of exploitation
of farm produce brokers of all sort.You being in industrialization can u attract
investors 2 start food processing plants?

Hon. Ndiritu 28-04-10 03:36:14
Wairagu,you are spot on about value addition. This year we plan two investment
forums for that purpose. We have also posted a District Industrial Development
officer - based at Nyahururu to complement these efforts. In addition, we are
building a constituency industrial development centre at Sipili, and a retail
market at Ol Jabet.
