Some of the projects commenced, some are at the procurement stage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The issue of financing took centre stage. In summary, we discussed matters of development. Uhuru and Raila will speak on the other aspects during the Madaraka Day celebrations,&#8221; the MP stated.<\/p>\n<p>Nyikal, who spoke on behalf of Nyanza lawmakers, added that the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) was also discussed at the meeting, with Uhuru and Raila assuring them that the project was on course despite the High Court declaring it null and void.<\/p>\n<p>Health CS Mutahi Kagwe reiterated the same, adding that the union between the President and his handshake partner was intact.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On matters of health, we should be aware that the celebrations will be observed under strict measures. I am calling on everyone to wash hands, sanitise, wear masks and maintain social distance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The safety of our people is paramount. We should not celebrate to the cost of losing our people. We don&#8217;t want to cause any panic but emphasise the need to adhere to the measures stipulated,&#8221; Kagwe urged, stating that the ministry was keeping an eye on the deadly Indian variant reported in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
