Technicians from different disciplines in Trans Nzoia will be among the beneficiaries of business space at the Masinde Muliro Market.
Governor George Natembeya said on Monday, July 13, 2026, that technicians play an important role in boosting the economy.
He said allocating them business space at the market will support their work and livelihoods.
The governor spoke at Ukombozi Centre in Kitale during a consultative meeting with various groups ahead of an opposition rally scheduled for July 25.
He encouraged technicians to register and form companies to benefit from the Sh100 million allocated to the Nawiri Fund.
“Groups of technicians will be given priority during this financial year,” said Natembeya.
On politics, the governor asked his competitors to prepare for a major defeat. He said he found Trans Nzoia in a poor state when he took office.
He added that his administration has reorganised the county, which is now in a better state.
Why did Natembeya back down from vying got president in 2027?
Natembeya said he shelved his 2027 presidential ambitions to complete the work he started in the county.
“I shelved my ambitions because it is Trans Nzoia that made me resign from my previous job. Let me complete what I started first,” he said.
He expressed confidence that the opposition will defeat President William Ruto and form the next government. Natembeya further said President Ruto would be defeated by a bigger margin.
The governor asked residents to re-elect him for a second term. He also urged them to elect a senator, woman representative and MCAs who will belong to his yet-to-be-announced political movement.
He was accompanied by Matisi MCA and senate aspirant Obed Mwale, his personal assistant, Emmanuel Wamalwa and other leaders.
