Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has announced that the government has released Ksh 177 billion to revive stalled road projects across the country, including those under the Mau Mau Roads Programme, which was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic during the administration of retired President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Speaking during a public engagement rally at Kinyona Shopping Centre in Kigumo Constituency, Murang’a County on Friday, Kindiki said the government had spent the past four years stabilising the economy, paving the way for the resumption of road construction projects.
In Murang’a County, the Mau Mau Roads Programme covers 225 kilometres at a cost of Ksh 9 billion, with the government having secured funds and paid contractors to facilitate the completion of the projects.
