The Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, Kipchumba Murkomen, Monday spent his time Kitale where he said the government is committed to equitable development in the country.
He said that a strong collaboration between the National and County Governments will speed up development and enhance service delivery across the country.
He spoke at the County Commissioner’s Office in Kitale.
Murkomen emphasised the importance of working together to build the nation, highlighting Trans Nzoia’s strategic role in food security and regional stability.
Murkomen noted that food security significantly contributes to national growth and assured residents that the Government is working to keep markets open and accessible to support farmers and local traders.
He also noted the persistent land issues in the county, where illegal invasion of public land has been a major concern, and assured residents that all grabbed land will be repossessed and restored to its rightful owners.
On security, Murkomen raised concern over the rising cases of alcohol and drug abuse, fuelled in part by the smuggling of contraband goods through border points.
