The government has begun upgrading a thirteen-kilometre road in Mosop Constituency, Nandi County, which will connect Nandi with Uasin Gishu, Kakamega, and Bungoma counties upon completion.

The thirteen-kilometre road between Kaiboi Centre and Kipkaren River will be a breakthrough, according to the residents, who insisted the road poses many challenges during rainy weather.

Local traders did not hide their joy, admitting their journey to carry out their business activities within the constituency has always been associated with pain, frustrations and confusion because of the poor road network.

A resident, Ebby Chemutai, said at times women in labour or persons on medical emergency calls have their lives cut short because of poor roads connecting to referral hospitals.
