Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has assured Kisumu residents and the whole of the Nyanza region of the government's commitment to serving them.

The region, a political base of former prime minister Raila Odinga, did not significantly contribute to the Kenya Kwanza vote basket in the August 9 elections.

Rigathi and his boss William Ruto rode on the Kenya Kwanza bandwagon to power.
