Uasin Gishu County Governor Jonathan Bii visited Ziwa Township on Sunday in a bid to reassure residents of his administration’s commitment to inclusive growth and development across the region.
Ziwa is among six townships earmarked for elevation to municipal status, a transformative move expected to spur infrastructure growth, attract investment, and improve service delivery to the people of Ziwa and beyond.
During the tour, Governor Bii engaged with community leaders, local traders, and residents, highlighting key milestones already achieved under his leadership. He emphasized that the upgrade of Ziwa into a municipality is not just a symbolic change but a strategic step toward real, on-the-ground transformation.
“This transformation will pave the way for better and more accessible services for our hardworking residents,” Governor Bii stated in a post shared across his social media platforms.
