President William Ruto appealed to the clergy for intervention after Ukambani leaders initially rejected government development initiatives. He assured that no part of Kenya would be left behind in national transformation, despite past political differences.

• The government plans to roll out programs like affordable housing and fresh produce markets in Machakos, Makueni, and Kitui counties, even after initial rejections from some leaders.
• President Ruto mentioned that KSh45 billion has been allocated for affordable housing, fresh produce markets, and student hostels across the three counties.
• An additional KSh5.5 billion is designated for roads and another KSh5.5 billion for electricity connection in the Ukambani region, with irrigation, particularly through the nearly complete Thwake Dam, being highlighted as the "next frontier" for agricultural transformation.
