The construction of the Nakuru-Marich Pass Road is expected to improve connectivity to West Pokot and the wider Kerio Valley, opening the region to increased trade and investment.
President William Ruto inspected the construction of the 35-kilometre Kopasi River-Lomut-Sigor-Marich Pass road on Friday during his development tour of West Pokot County. The KSh4.4 billion project is 60 per cent complete.
The road forms part of the wider Nakuru-Marich Pass Road, which will provide an alternative to the Nakuru-Eldoret route, shorten the journey to Lodwar by 70 kilometres and reduce travel time by more than two hours.
