Forest area known as Imenti to be designated for construction of Meru State Lodge
President Ruto's Plans for a State Lodge and Golf Course in Meru
President William Ruto has set his sights on Meru County, identifying government land for the construction of a State Lodge. This ambitious project is part of a broader vision to boost Meru Town's potential city status.
During a meeting at State House, Nairobi, President Ruto issued a directive to the Ministry of Forestry to find suitable land for the State Lodge and golf course. The proposed sites are located a few kilometers from Meru Town and will occupy part of the Imenti Forest.
The Imenti Forest, a home to elephants and other small game, is also the location of the Agricultural Society of Kenya Showground. The organization responsible for allocating the land for the establishment of the state lodge and golf course in Meru County is the National Land Commission of Kenya.
A team has been formed to oversee the excision of parts of the Imenti Forest for the golf course and the president's residence. They are working diligently to make these facilities a reality in the shortest time possible.
Governor Isaac Mutuma has expressed his support for the projects, stating that the lodge, golf course, and airstrip are key requirements for Meru Town to acquire city status. He also highlighted that having these facilities in Meru will spur economic development in the region.
An airstrip is considered crucial for Meru as it could attract more businesses by making travel more efficient. Meru County is economically endowed but the lack of an airstrip has discouraged investors. The airstrip is seen as a vital component of the president's plans for the region.
President Ruto has shown a keen interest in the three projects (State Lodge, golf course, and airstrip) in Meru County. He has even visited a site for the proposed State Lodge and golf course in Meru County to inspect progress.
The State Lodge is important to the people of Meru as it presents economic opportunities for them. Governor Mutuma reiterated this, stating that the projects will provide jobs and stimulate local businesses.
In conclusion, President Ruto's plans for a State Lodge and golf course in Meru County, along with an airstrip, are a significant step towards economic development and potential city status for Meru Town. The projects are expected to attract more businesses, create jobs, and stimulate local economies, making Meru a more vibrant and prosperous region.
