The newly completed 2.4 kilometre Kaptimbor Airstrip Road in Kabarnet, Baringo County, has come under public scrutiny after revelations that the project cost Ksh80 million, translating to approximately Ksh40 million per kilometre.
Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) had on Wednesday notified Kenyans that it was through with constructing the road, hailing it as a strategic investment to enhance access to the Kaptimbor Airstrip and nearby social amenities. "KURA is committed to opening up urban centres through strategic road infrastructure, such as the 2.4KM Kaptimbor-Airstrip Road in Kabarnet, Baringo County.
This key link enhances access to Kaptimbor Airstrip and essential social amenities, making movement easier," KURA posted.
However, the post elicited more suspicion than excitement.
