Former Cabinet Secretary and Presidential Adviser Moses Kuria has assured residents of Ol Kalou that ongoing national government projects in the constituency will continue despite the defeat of the ruling UDA candidate in last week's by-election.
Kuria said the outcome of the election would not affect the implementation of projects that are already underway, stressing that development should not be tied to political competition.
In a statement issued after the by-election, Kuria revealed that he had spoken to Member of Parliament-elect Kamau Ngotho to congratulate him on his victory and to assure him of the government's commitment to completing all planned projects in the constituency.
