Wajir residents laud Governor Abdullahi’s development roadmap

Residents of Wajir County have praised Governor Ahmed Abdullahi for what they describe as a clear and ambitious development roadmap that is beginning to transform key sectors across the region. The growing public confidence follows a series of county-led initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure, healthcare access, agriculture, and early childhood education—areas long considered priority needs in northern Kenya. Community elders, youth groups, and local business leaders say the governor’s strategic approach is restoring optimism and setting Wajir on a path toward sustained growth.
According to county officials, the roadmap focuses on expanding water supply systems, upgrading health facilities, modernizing early learning centres, and supporting pastoralist and agro-pastoralist communities through climate-resilient farming initiatives. Several flagship projects, including new boreholes, the rehabilitation of rural access roads, and the rollout of digital solutions for county services, have already gained traction. Residents note that increased transparency, regular community consultations, and stronger partnerships with national government agencies have created a sense of shared responsibility in shaping Wajir’s development priorities.
The positive reception has been echoed in local forums, where citizens say the roadmap reflects the county’s realities and long-standing challenges. Youth leaders commend the administration for investing in vocational training and job-creation programs, while women’s groups highlight improvements in maternal health services and water access. Analysts observe that the roadmap’s success will depend on sustained funding, accountability, and continued engagement with grassroots communities. For now, Wajir residents believe Governor Abdullahi’s approach is laying a solid foundation for economic progress, stability, and improved quality of life across the county.
