NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 11 – President William Ruto has set April 2027 as the new completion deadline for the Rironi-Mau Summit highway, bringing forward an earlier commitment to deliver the major road project by June 2027.
Ruto said the first phase would connect Rironi to Mau Summit, after which the government would begin work on extending the highway to Malaba on the Uganda border, opening up a key trade corridor linking the Port of Mombasa to neighbouring countries.
“I want to assure you that the road will connect Mombasa and neighbouring countries like Uganda. Phase One will reach Mau Summit. I will open the road in April 2027. That is when we will begin the construction of the Mau Summit-Malaba highway,” Ruto said.
