In 2022, we made a commitment to the people of Kenya: Industrialisation would no longer be concentrated in Nairobi and a few major urban centres. We pledged to bring manufacturing, value addition and jobs closer to farmers, traders, entrepreneurs and young people across the country. Today, that commitment is taking shape with the commissioning of the Kisii County Aggregation and Industrial Park. Across the country, 34 County Aggregation and Industrial Parks (CAIPs) are being developed, with 15 of them completed. The National Government has invested KSh8.5 billion in the programme. This financial year, we have allocated a further KSh2.5 billion for common-user manufacturing equipment in 17 counties. The construction of the parks is being undertaken jointly by the National and County governments, with each contributing KSh250 million. The Kisii CAIP will unlock the value of the region's agricultural produce, transforming avocados into oil, bananas into flour and other food products, and tea into blended, packaged products for local and international markets.

Impressed by progress at Ogembo Affordable Housing Project in Bomachoge Chache Constituency, Kisii County. The KSh616 million project is 50 per cent complete. In the county, we are investing KSh22 billion in 15,000 affordable housing units, 22 modern markets and student hostels for university, technical college and the Kenya Medical Training College students.

I convey my heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the 23 people who lost their lives in the tragic road accident at Kanga near Mtito Andei on Nairobi-Mombasa Highway in Makueni County. This is a painful and devastating loss for the families and for the nation. We share in your grief during this difficult time, and we pray for strength and comfort for the families. I also wish a quick recovery to all those who were injured. I take this opportunity to urge all drivers, especially those operating public service vehicles, to exercise utmost caution and observe traffic rules to safeguard lives. I further direct all relevant authorities to ensure thorough inspection of public service vehicles to guarantee compliance with safety standards so that accidents can be eliminated.
