An 81-kilometre road project in Baringo County aims to enhance trade and tourism, according to Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo. The road, connecting Kasoiyo, Riwo, Seretunin, Talai, Kasisit, Kipcherere and Kampi ya Samaki, is being upgraded to bitumen standard with performance-based maintenance. Construction, involving heavy earthworks and tarmacking, is facing challenges due to the difficult terrain.
Once completed, the road is expected to improve access to Lake Baringo, conservancies and hotels, potentially boosting tourism and connecting Baringo Central and Baringo North. Farmers and livestock keepers will benefit from easier transportation of produce and animals to markets. The project also promises to improve access to hospitals, learning institutions and government services.
Omollo emphasized that reliable road networks are crucial for safe mobility and effective service delivery, unlocking economic opportunities in previously hard-to-reach areas.
