I plan to either sell part of my land and put up a business when the project is complete," said Festus Kaberia.Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI-Meru chapter) Chairman Joshua Mungania said they welcomed more investors in the region, pointing out that the windpower project will spur infrastructural development, create employment and other opportunities.Former Athwana MCA Victor Kariithi said the wind power project will benefit the county and contribute to national development.“If there is a project the Tigania people, particularly from this remote part of Meru, have been waiting for is this project,” said Mr Kariithi.He said the residents of the region that will host the project were at last hopeful that they will have a mega project which will improve their lives.“We expect all the villages in this area to be connected to electricity, the roads within the area tarmacked and upgraded, schools modernized and additional ones constructed, health facilities improved to international standards, water supply linked to homesteads and much more. We expect the project to greatly support the local’s livelihoods,” Mr Kariithi said.Stay informed.
