This diversity reflects PS Hinga’s thoughtful approach to urban planning, ensuring that the housing needs of various family structures and income groups are met.

Moreover, PS Hinga has been a vocal advocate for empowering youth and women, many of whom have gained hands on training and critical skills throughout the construction process.
Through his visionary leadership, PS Hinga has championed meaningful partnerships between government, local businesses, and communities. His emphasis on using local suppliers for building materials and services has stimulated entrepreneurship and strengthened the regional value chain.
