Kabondo Kasipul residents are set to witness the second phase of a multi-million shillings street lighting and surveillance project in the constituency.
Area MP Sylvance Oselle says the project is on course and phase one was completed at a cost of Sh12.5 million last year.
The project involves building of high light masts in markets and streets with the intention of the making the area a 24-hour economy.
With the project already up and running in Chabera, Kadongo and Ringa, Mr Osele says priority will be given to isolated trading centres far away from major towns.
The second phase will start in July in Mikai, Kocholla and Ramba.

Osele says traders can now work late into the night without fear of attacks by marauding armed gangs due to enhanced surveillance by local security personnel.
"If trading centres close as early as 7pm then it means there is either insecurity or that the environment is not conducive. If Kenya is working towards a 24-hour economy, then it must start from the grass roots," Osele said.
