“The Kombololo-Tilankok-Kamaget-Kaboson Road is just the start. Several other roads in the constituency will also be constructed soon, addressing the critical need for better infrastructure in our region,” MP Koech added.

The MP highlighted the role of the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) in supporting local infrastructure projects.

He revealed that his committee has earmarked additional funds from the NG-CDF to assist in the construction of more roads in Chepalungu.

To ensure transparency and effective implementation, MP Koech has committed to engaging the public in the supervision process.
