Governor Issa Timamy officially launched the Carbro footpath, drainage system, and high solar mast lights in Faza settlement, Lamu East Sub-County.

The project, funded by the World Bank under the Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Project (KISIP II), aims to improve the infrastructure and enhance the living conditions for residents in the area.

Governor Timamy, who was accompanied by CEC for Land, Roads, and Infrastructure, Tashrifa Bakari, and Chief Officer Ahmed Loo, along with other senior county officials, praised the initiative as a significant step towards addressing the challenges of informal settlements.

The project includes the construction of a durable footpath to ease mobility, a drainage system to manage stormwater, and the installation of solar-powered street lights to enhance security and lighting in the settlement.

The Governor expressed his commitment to continue working with development partners like the World Bank to improve infrastructure across Lamu County, ensuring that every resident has access to basic services and a better quality of life.

The KISIP II-funded project is part of ongoing efforts to upgrade informal settlements and provide sustainable solutions to the challenges facing urban and peri-urban communities in Kenya.
