Nairobi: MP George Kariuki continues to roll out major infrastructure and education projects, aimed at improving livelihoods, boosting the local economy, and creating employment opportunities for the youth. Kariuki launched the grading and gravelling of the Gacharu-Kamina Road Tuesday, a vital route that links several villages and serves transport needs for farmers, traders, and students.
According to Kenya News Agency, the road is normally rendered impassable during the rainy seasons, but after the ongoing renovation, it will now be an all-weather road, thus easing access to markets, schools, and health facilities. “We are committed to ensuring that every part of Ndia enjoys all-weather roads that connect our farmers, traders, and families to growth and prosperity,” he said.
The MP emphasized that these projects go beyond improving transport and creating employment for local youth. “These are not just projects; they are job creators. Our young people are earning from construction works and staying engaged in meaningful activities. When youth are busy and empowered, they become drivers of development,” he said.
The MP further revealed that the government has released funds for the construction of more feeder roads across Ndia, promising fair distribution of projects to ensure every ward benefits from development. Kariuki also visited the Sagana Primary School access road, where a modern drainage culvert has been completed to replace an old, damaged one. He commended the quality of work and urged contractors to maintain high standards in all public projects.
In the education sector, Kariuki announced that Ndia Technical and Vocational Training Institute (TVTI) is set to be upgraded into a National Polytechnic, citing its remarkable growth and contribution to youth empowerment. He added that by December, the institute will receive a new school bus to facilitate student trips for industrial attachments, academic tours, and innovation fairs. “A school bus is not just for transport it’s part of learning. It enables our students to explore new ideas, build confidence, and represent Ndia proudly,” he noted.
Responding to critics who have branded him a ‘traitor’ for maintaining an independent political path, Kariuki said his focus remains on delivering development, not engaging in political divisions. “Those calling me names should come and see what we are doing for our people. My loyalty is to the residents of Ndia whom I promised to serve wholeheartedly,” he said.
The MP said Ndia Constituency has achieved nearly 100 percent electricity connectivity, a major milestone that has improved education, business, and communication across villages. He underscored the importance of working closely with the Kenya Kwanza government, saying that collaboration with the national administration is key to unlocking more development for the people. “No leader can deliver in isolation. We must work with the government of the day to ensure resources reach our people and that Ndia continues to benefit from national programs,” Kariuki said.
“With better roads, jobs for our youth, reliable power, and growing schools, Ndia is on the move. We are not just talking about development, we are living it,” he said confidently. Jane Wanjiku, a resident of Gacharu village, expressed her gratitude for the projects, noting that they were impacting the region positively.
