President William Ruto announced on Tuesday that the construction of Narok Airport will be completed within the next two months. The Sh677 million facility will serve both domestic and international passengers, with scheduled weekly flights from Masai Mara to Nairobi's Wilson Airport. This boost to air connectivity will strengthen tourism in Narok County and across the country, particularly in the globally renowned Masai Mara National Reserve.
Ruto emphasized the airport's role in increasing visitor numbers, with Kenya aiming to grow from the current 2.7 million to 5 million by 2028. The President also highlighted the completion of Kilgoris Airstrip, which will complement Narok Airport in enhancing transport to and from the expansive county. Ruto's visit to Narok County, spanning two days, included launching road projects, handing over a modern market to Mama Mboga, and launching a power station.
He reiterated his commitment to equitable development across all regions of the country, rejecting the politics of marginalization and division.
