Less than a month after President William Ruto launched the construction of an international airport in Narok County, it has emerged that work is yet to begin on the ground, despite his assurance that the project would be completed within a year.
Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina raised the alarm, calling on the contractor to immediately move to the site and commence construction. "You, the contractor of Narok Airport, should immediately report to the site, hastily," Olekina demanded.
During the launch of the project on May 6, Ruto revealed that the move to build the airport was reached after numerous decries by the residents, who revealed that tourism was their major economic activity and that an airport would expand its value.
