The Government has announced plans to resume construction of all stalled road projects across the country, a move expected to boost economic development and improve transportation networks.
George Kariuki, the Member of Parliament for Ndia and Chairman of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Transport and Infrastructure, said by March all the contractors will resume their respective project sites.
Speaking at Kibiru Primary School in Ndia, Kariuki expressed the government's commitment to addressing the challenges caused by stalled road projects, emphasizing the importance of the roads in facilitating economic activities and improving access to essential services.
He revealed that some contractors had already resumed work on several projects, with more expected to follow suit in the coming weeks. "Contractors for the Mau Mau roads in Nyeri, Murang'a, and Nyandarua counties, have been instructed to return to work, and progress is already being made, the government is keen on ensuring that these vital projects, along with others such as the roads in Mwea Constituency, are completed to benefit the people and enhance connectivity," Kariuki stated.
