President William Ruto has announced further government decentralization by operationalizing new administrative units, with Marsabit County being among the first to benefit. This move aims to bring public services closer to the people, particularly in marginalized regions.

• The Uran Sub-County in Marsabit will be fully operational within the next two weeks, with Sagante and Jaldesa following in two to three weeks.
• Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen highlighted the Usajili Mashinani mobile identification drive, targeting over 72,000 residents previously without national identification.
• Nairobi’s administration has also been restructured into three new subregions—Nairobi North, Nairobi East, and Nairobi West—each overseen by a County Commissioner, for improved service delivery to its over five million residents.

President William Ruto announced that construction of the long-awaited Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) extension from Naivasha to Kisumu will commence in January. This project, which will eventually reach Malaba, is seen as a fulfillment of a development vision championed by the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, reinforcing shared national development goals.

• The estimated cost for the entire Naivasha–Kisumu–Malaba corridor is projected to be approximately Sh646–648 billion.
• The project aims to integrate western Kenya into the Northern Corridor logistics network, significantly strengthening regional trade with Uganda and the Great Lakes region.
• The government plans a hybrid public–private model, funding civil works and infrastructure while seeking private partners for rolling stock supply and operation.

President William Ruto has pledged to donate Kshs.100 million to the Africa Inland Church (AIC) for "ongoing works" in Ileret, Marsabit County. This announcement was made during a church service at AIC Loglogo on Sunday, November 16.

• Ruto will also oversee the completion of AIC Loglogo, which requires Kshs.17 million, promising its completion within three months.
• The donation reinforces his belief in supporting religious institutions for their self-sustenance.
• This follows a recent Kshs.50 million donation to the African Divine Church Service for their headquarters in Vihiga County on Sunday, November 2.
