The government has received funding from three financial institutions from the Middle East for the construction and upgrading of the 90Km Samatar- Wajir Road.
In a notice published on Tuesday, July 15, Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) confirmed that Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED), OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID), Saudi Fund for Economic Development (SFD), and Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA) would be funding the project.
According to KeNHA, the funds will cater for site clearance, earthworks, improved subgrade material, natural material sub-base, bridge, box culverts, bus bays, road markings, road signages, guardrails, and landscaping.
The road is part of the 740-kilometer Isiolo-Mandera road corridor, which connects Kenya to the Somali border.
