The County Government of Nakuru has commissioned a street lighting project along a 12-kilometre stretch as part of its ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure and support local economic growth.

According to County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Infrastructure Engineer Michael Kamau, the project, which also involves the installation of solar-powered streetlights, is aimed at enhancing security, extending business hours, and improving the overall quality of life for residents in the area.

Engineer Kamau said the newly installed 500 streetlights span from the Njoro Interchange towards Barnabas, cutting across Menengai East, London, Shabab, Biashara, and Nakuru East wards.

The CECM indicated that the street lighting project was part of a broader initiative by Governor Susan Kihika's administration to improve infrastructure and promote economic activity in the region.
