The electrification project led by Hon. Gitonga Mukunji is taking significant strides, with the ongoing installation of a solar-powered high mast lighting system, popularly known as Mulika Biashara, at Kiriari Market in Ruguru Ngandori Ward.

This transformative initiative is part of Hon. Mukunji’s broader development agenda aimed at enhancing the livelihoods of Manyatta Constituency residents. The Mulika Biashara will provide proper lighting to Muthurwa Market and the entire Kiriari Market, making it a hub of activity even during nighttime.

Benefits of the Mulika Biashara Project

1. Boosting a 24-Hour Economy
   The installation of high-quality solar lighting will encourage businesses to operate late into the night, significantly enhancing economic activity in the area. Vendors, traders, and customers will now enjoy a safe and well-lit environment to conduct their transactions, ushering in the possibility of a 24-hour economy.
2. Enhanced Security
   Proper lighting will deter criminal activities, ensuring the safety of market users and the surrounding community. This will create a sense of security, especially for small-scale traders, boda boda riders, and pedestrians.
3. Cost-Effective and Sustainable Solution
   By leveraging solar energy, the Mulika Biashara project is not only environmentally friendly but also eliminates the recurring costs associated with traditional electricity-powered lighting systems. This sustainable solution aligns with the government’s vision of promoting clean and renewable energy sources.
4. Community Empowerment
   With extended working hours, local businesses and residents will have increased opportunities for income generation. This project directly supports small and medium enterprises (SMEs), thereby contributing to poverty reduction and economic growth.

A Testament to Leadership

Hon. Mukunji’s commitment to lighting Manyatta Constituency, village by village, continues to transform the lives of residents. Projects like the Mulika Biashara at Kiriari Market are a clear indication of his dedication to inclusive development, ensuring that every corner of the constituency benefits from modern infrastructure.

The project also reflects the constituency’s focus on sustainability and local engagement. It is worth noting that local youths have been involved in the installation process, fostering a sense of ownership and pride in the community.

Looking Ahead

As this solar-powered high mast lighting system becomes operational, Kiriari Market is expected to experience a dramatic transformation. Hon. Mukunji remains committed to identifying and addressing the specific needs of Manyatta Constituency residents, with lighting projects like this forming the foundation of a brighter, safer, and more prosperous future.

Let’s continue to Tumulike Biashara and work together toward realizing the full potential of Manyatta Constituency.
