Residents of Mukuyuni Maridadi in Kwanza Constituency were all smiles as Senator Allan Chesang paid a visit to engage the community and officially commission a newly constructed community cattle dip, a project spearheaded by the Allan Chesang Foundation.
The event drew hundreds of locals who turned up to share their concerns and aspirations with the Senator. During the public engagement, Senator Chesang emphasized the importance of listening directly to the people and reaffirmed his commitment to delivering people-centered development across Trans Nzoia County.
“It’s through forums like these that we truly understand the needs of our people. Real development begins with dialogue, followed by action,” said Chesang.
The highlight of the day was the unveiling of the cattle dip, a critical infrastructure project designed to improve livestock health and support the livelihoods of farmers in the area. With livestock farming being a key source of income for many households in the region, the facility is expected to significantly reduce disease prevalence and boost agricultural productivity.
“This cattle dip is more than just a project; it’s a lifeline for our farmers. By protecting their livestock, we are safeguarding their income, food security, and overall well-being,” Chesang stated during the commissioning ceremony.
Funded by the Allan Chesang Foundation, the cattle dip is part of a broader initiative to roll out practical development projects at the grassroots level, focusing on agriculture, youth empowerment, health, and education.
Community members welcomed the development with enthusiasm, calling it timely and essential. “We’ve waited for this for years. It will help us save our cattle from ticks and diseases. We thank the Senator and the Foundation for delivering on this promise,” said local farmer Janet Wanjiku.
Senator Chesang reiterated his vision for transformative, bottom-up development that responds to real community needs. “This is what development should look like—tangible, impactful, and inclusive. Pamoja tujenge Trans Nzoia County,” he concluded.
