Building a Better Siaya: Hon. David Ochieng’s Vision for Inclusive Growth and Transformation

Building a better Siaya remains the top priority for David Ochieng, the leader of the Movement for Democracy and Growth (MDG), Ugenya MP, and incoming Siaya Governor. His vision is clear: to create a county where every family can live with dignity, opportunity, and hope.

This commitment was reaffirmed during a consultative meeting with delegates from Simenya held at Sidindi Ward. The engagement formed part of his broader strategy to ensure that leadership in Siaya remains practical, people-centered, and inclusive. Hon. Ochieng emphasized that meaningful transformation can only be achieved through listening to the people and prioritizing their needs.

Empowering Farmers and Strengthening Food Security

Agriculture remains the backbone of Siaya’s economy, and Hon. Ochieng pledged to make farm inputs more affordable to empower local farmers. By reducing the cost of seeds, fertilizers, and other essential supplies, his administration aims to boost food production, strengthen food security, and improve household incomes across the county.

Creating Sustainable Jobs for the Youth

Addressing youth unemployment is another cornerstone of his development agenda. Hon. Ochieng outlined plans to roll out sustainable economic programs designed to create employment opportunities and support entrepreneurship. By equipping young people with skills, resources, and access to markets, the county government intends to unlock innovation and drive long-term economic growth.

Improving Infrastructure and Connectivity

Infrastructure development also featured prominently in the discussions. Hon. Ochieng committed to upgrading and improving roads across Siaya to enhance connectivity, facilitate trade, and ease transportation challenges. Improved infrastructure is expected to open up rural areas, stimulate business activities, and attract investment into the county.

Strengthening Healthcare Services in Ambira

Quality healthcare is central to his vision of a dignified life for all residents. He pledged to ensure that hospitals in Ambira are adequately stocked with medicine and staffed with specialized doctors. Strengthening healthcare facilities will not only improve service delivery but also restore public confidence in the county’s health system.

A Vision Becoming Reality

Through inclusive consultations and clearly defined development priorities, Hon. David Ochieng’s vision for Siaya is steadily taking shape. His leadership approach—grounded in dialogue, accountability, and practical solutions—signals a new chapter for the county.

With a strong commitment to empowering farmers, creating jobs, improving infrastructure, and enhancing healthcare services, the dream of a better Siaya is fast becoming a reality—one built on dignity, opportunity, and hope for every family.
