AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Governor Salim Mvurya has said more than 100 projects have been launched in Kwale County, including dispensaries, dams and pipelines.<\/p>\n

Addressing journalists in Kwale town, Mvurya (pictured) said his administration has constructed dams in dry areas like Lunga Lunga and Kinango sub-counties.<\/p>\n

The governor said work on Nyalani and Kizingo dams was complete, as well as Mwakalanga dam, which can hold over one million litres of water.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the dry areas of the county, we have constructed a number of dams to mitigate against drought. We have deployed machinery to Mwaruphesa to construct a dam. We are also repairing a pipeline to support water to Chanzou and Mwaruphesa,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The county has also embarked on the rehabilitation of underground water storage facilities at Mkwiro on Wasini island.<\/p>\n

Mvurya said the county government recently put up a 27km pipeline in Busho, Kinango Sub-county, that would eventually supply water to Kilbasi.<\/p>\n

He spoke after receiving a delegation from Jambojet led by Managing Director Karanja Ndegwa, upon which they discussed partnership with county administration in regard to operations at Diani airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cDirect flights from Nairobi to Diani have boosted the tourism and investment sectors in our county. As a government, we have built cabro roads in Diani municipality and put up floodlights. The expansion of the runway will further offer development opportunities to different stakeholders and investors,\u201d said Mvurya.<\/p>\n

The governor said his administration has embarked on the construction of roads in Kwale town in a bid to upgrade the municipality.<\/p>\n

He noted that unlike other counties that grappled with the health workers’ strikes for a lengthy period, his administration resolved the matter in record time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe resolved grievances raised by the health workers a long time ago. We addressed the issues of promotion and we have been paying them promptly. It is why we are opening new dispensaries across the county,\u201d said Mvurya<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
