H.E. the Governor is passionate about improving the dilapidated infrastructure in Nyandarua. He is particularly concerned that thousands of farmers have remained poor owing to poor marketing of their goods and also due to exploitation by the middlemen.
The governor is eager to see the revival of pyrethrum crop, streamline the marketing of potatoes, set up milk processing factories, and establish factories for value addition and job creation for the youth.
He is also concerned over poor road network, lack of piped water in homes and urban centers, lack of electricity especially in homes and institutions of learning, and lack of office space for the people working in Nyandarua County government.
