More than 250 households in Khwisero Sub County will now enjoy reliable electricity following the commissioning of the Ebutanyi junction last mile-connectivity project in Kisa North Ward.
Residents expect the project to boost security, support small businesses, and improve learning for children who can now study at night.
Farmers and traders also anticipate lower costs as they shift from costly energy sources.
Khwisero MP Christopher Aseka, while speaking yesterday in his constituency, said the initiative marks a major step in bridging the rural energy gap.
“Access to electricity remains a cornerstone of socio-economic transformation. With this project, we are lighting homes and unlocking opportunities for enterprise, education, and better livelihoods,” Aseka said.
He pledged to work together with other stakeholders in expanding infrastructure that empowers households and drives rural growth in the area.
Aseka noted that reliable power is key to digital inclusion, job creation, and overall development in the constituency.
He assured residents that his office will continue prioritizing projects with direct impact on people’s lives.
Aseka voiced support for the broad-based government and stressed that rural electrification remains vital for economic transformation.
The Ebutanyi Junction project is part of the national government’s efforts to expand energy access to every Kenyan household.
“Our people deserve equal opportunities. By bringing electricity here, we are opening doors for our children’s education, for business growth, and for families to live with dignity,” Aseka concluded.
