NAIROBI, Kenya – President William Ruto has unveiled a Sh20 billion road development initiative in Nandi County, aiming to construct 350 kilometres of roads to enhance transportation and facilitate farmers' access to markets. During a tour of the region, Ruto examined the 24-kilometre Maraba-Kebeneti and Timboroa-Kopere roads in Tinderet Constituency.
He also laid the foundation stone for the 17-kilometre Labuiywo-Kapkoros-Koisagat road, set to cost Sh1.3 billion. The president emphasized that the visit was centered on development rather than politics, stating, "For now, we are focusing on development. I have come here to address roads, hospitals, markets and electricity." The road projects are projected to facilitate the transportation of agricultural produce, link rural communities to markets and improve access to vital services.
The Labuiywo-Kapkoros-Koisagat road is anticipated to bolster connectivity with Nandi Hills and neighboring counties such as Uasin Gishu, Elgeyo Marakwet and West Pokot.
