Dr. Bii also highlighted the importance of youth empowerment initiatives, such as the Governor\u2019s Cup, which promotes sports talent among the youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, Governor Dr. Bii expressed gratitude to the local business community for their contributions, which have resulted in an unprecedented revenue generation of Ksh 1.4 billion for the county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He urged all residents to embrace these developments and collaborate towards a prosperous future for the County.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
