Governor Susan Kihika’s administration is making significant strides in expanding access to healthcare and improving infrastructure in Kuresoi North Sub-County through the development of the New Kuresoi North Level 4 Hospital and supporting urban projects. These initiatives reflect the County Government’s commitment to service delivery, community engagement, and inclusive development.
The New Kuresoi North Level 4 Hospital is a flagship healthcare investment aimed at providing residents with accessible, quality medical services. The facility is designed to serve the sub-county and surrounding areas, supporting maternal, neonatal, and general healthcare needs. During a recent site inspection, the Chief Officer for Health, Dr. John Murima, together with Chief Officer for Public Works, Ken Mungai, assessed progress on the hospital’s construction and ensured adherence to the approved standards. The visit also included area Member of County Assembly, Hon. Bor, and a joint technical team from the Departments of Health and Public Works, alongside the Project Management Committee overseeing the facility’s development.
During the inspection, the County leadership praised the quality of work delivered so far while directing the contractor to accelerate project implementation. Officials emphasized the importance of sharing formal contract timelines to guarantee timely completion and ensure value for public resources. The involvement of local community members has also been highlighted as a key factor in the smooth progress of construction, demonstrating the administration’s focus on participatory development that engages residents directly in county projects.
In addition to healthcare improvements, the County Government is upgrading the urban environment in Kuresoi Trading Centre. Ongoing cabro paving and drainage works, covering 1.1 kilometres, are designed to improve accessibility, enhance safety, and support business activity. These projects are expected to create a more organised town layout, facilitating movement for residents, traders, and visitors while promoting economic activity. Improved roads and drainage infrastructure reduce transport bottlenecks, limit flooding, and provide a safer and cleaner environment for the public.
The combination of healthcare and infrastructure investments in Kuresoi North illustrates Governor Susan Kihika’s manifesto priorities in action. The Governor has consistently emphasised expanding access to quality health services, supporting local economic development, and ensuring inclusive growth that benefits all residents. By focusing on both health and infrastructure, the administration is addressing critical needs that directly improve the daily lives of residents, from access to medical care to safer and more reliable road networks in town centres.
These developments also demonstrate the county’s approach to integrated service delivery. The hospital project not only increases capacity for medical services but also strengthens local employment through construction and related activities. Similarly, the town centre upgrades create opportunities for local traders, improve connectivity, and enhance business performance. The dual focus on health and infrastructure ensures that residents receive tangible benefits across multiple aspects of life, reinforcing public confidence in government initiatives.
Furthermore, the County’s engagement with local communities during the projects supports transparency, accountability, and inclusivity. By involving residents and local leaders in oversight and feedback, the administration ensures that projects meet local needs and are maintained effectively over time. This approach aligns with Governor Kihika’s broader goal of participatory governance, which prioritises citizens’ voices in development planning and project implementation.
Once completed, the New Kuresoi North Level 4 Hospital and the cabro-paved town centre will significantly enhance service delivery, improve quality of life, and stimulate local economic growth. Residents will benefit from reliable healthcare, improved urban mobility, and safer public spaces, reflecting the County Government’s focus on measurable impact.
Through these initiatives, Governor Susan Kihika is delivering on her promise to improve health services, strengthen infrastructure, and support inclusive development across Nakuru County. The progress in Kuresoi North serves as a practical example of how targeted investments in health and urban infrastructure can enhance economic opportunities, improve social outcomes, and demonstrate accountable leadership
