"These projects are aimed at creating the modern Busia town here at Nasewa. All modern amenities will be incorporated to empower residents both economically and socially. Schools like Mabunge Primary will be improved with modern classrooms and other infrastructure giving our children a conducive learning environment," he said.

The state's strategic vision also includes upgrading three major markets in Bumala, Nambale, and Malaba, with an estimated investment of Sh350 million on each market.

These upgrades are designed to improve local business infrastructure and promote economic growth in the region.

Busia County Chief Officer for Lands and Housing Vincent Wanjala reaffirmed the County Government's commitment to supporting the project by providing land and any additional resources required.

He said these projects mark a significant step forward in the county's efforts to improve living standards and stimulate economic development in the region.
