Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana Captures Kenyans’ Hearts with another New Project

Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana on Saturday launched yet another project that is set to benefit the county's residents.

Prof. Kibwana opened the Kathonzweni Milk Processing Plant that is set to pasteurize 1000 liters of milk per hour.

The Governor says the project was done in partnership with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

“I wish to thank USAID Kenya for helping us install the Kathonzweni Milk Processing Plant, through the International Livestock and Research Institute (ILRI). The plant has a capacity to pasteurize 1000 liters of milk per hour,” Governor Kibwana says.

Kibwana's development track record has continued to earn him admiration from Kenyans, with many urging him to run for President in 2022.

In December last year, the Governor opened a new 120-bed capacity Makueni Mother and Child Hospital in Wote town built at a cost of Sh135 million.

"The Centre will provide amenities like aqua-birthing facility and Kangaroo mother care room among others," the Governor said during the launch.

The facility also has antenatal wards, ultra-modern newborn unit, post-surgical ward, labor ward, and a neonatal ward.

Despite enduring a difficult first-term in office in the hands of stubborn Members of the County Assembly, Kibwana has been ranked number one among the 47 Governors as far as development is concerned.

He has successfully managed to employ public participation to prioritize projects in Makueni County.

He has also managed to build a mango processing factory, milk processing plants and connecting several households with clean piped water in addition to rolling out a special universal healthcare programme for residents.
