The state department of housing and urban development in

infrastructure development project to improve roads, footpaths, drainage,
lighting, water, sanitation and social amenities across several settlements.

Thousand Street, Nyandiwa and Rusinga Old Town. The National government received funding from the World Bank towards funding the project.
