Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has confirmed that 11 contractors are actively working on the construction of the Isiolo-Mandera road.
The project had earlier attracted criticism following President William Ruto's announcement during his North Eastern tour earlier this month.
Speaking during a consultative meeting with Meru leaders on Tuesday, February 18, in Nairobi, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki confirmed that some sections of the Isiolo-Mandera road, which is expected to be completed within the next two and a half years, have already been tarmacked.
In response to critics, Kindiki emphasized that the project will be one of the key government achievements highlighted in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections.
