He announced that advertising and procurement for another 400 units was underway.

The President also announced that the government would build an additional three modern fresh produce markets in addition to the nine that are currently under construction across the county.

On electricity, he pointed out that the government would spend Sh1 billion to connect more than 11,000 households to power in the county.

On a separate issue, President Ruto denied media reports that public money is being used to build a church at State House, Nairobi.

"I did not start a church at State House; instead I found one already built though it was a tin structure. What I have done is to prepare to build a modern chapel, but with my own money," he said.

President Ruto will attend a service at the Anglican Church of Kenya in Embu this Sunday.

Also present at the meeting were Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku (Public Service and Special Programmes), MPs, MCAs, religious leaders, and other senior officials from the county.
