Isiolo-Meru-Wajir-Garissa-Mandera highway construction will start in January 2022. 744KM of tarmac. Reducing travel time from 8 days (96hrs) to 12hrs, on that route. The project will take 5yrs to complete. It will be the second most transformative project in the region after the Isiolo - Moyale - Ethiopia highway (504Km) was completed in 2014. The project will also entail laying of fiber optic cable on the entire 744Km and beyond. The cost will be Kshs 84 billion.

@@njuguna-mtalii The economic benefit that will accrue, to this region, from this construction will be 100 fold of what was perceived as eaten during the construction period.
One Man Is Tirelessly Building The Nation and The Other One Is Doing Rounds Singing a Hustler Anthem and Crying Out Loud How He Was Kicked Out Of a Government That He Helped Form😀😀..Given a Chance I'd Kick You Out too..Show Me What You've Done To Your Rift Valley People Leave Alone Kenyans In General
I'm Glade to say that Kenya has a lot, that other countries don't I personally I didn't know much about Kenya and the extent of what is happening back there until RU-vidrs shot up I've met people from other countries from Africa and beyond here in America and all have nothing but praise for Kenya's development
@@crazyweb9605 We appreciate his good works but his projects has brought more burdens to the people He wasted 5 years talking about politics with his counterpart Ruto only to realise He did nothing now come last minute he is now trying to recover the time he lost
@@jjgamechanger9182 very true..but altleast half a road is better than no road at all. Construction of The SGR which has changed the fortunes of Mombasa town started in 2014,Lamu port ++many other major highways in Nairobi nd Nakuru. So he did not waste as much time as you think.
@@crazyweb9605 all this roads have been overprice and that’s why Uhuru went with Raila to get loan they were denied 🙅 because SGR Uhuru double the price
What did you expect..Kalenjins don't know the concept of civilization nor the usefulness of development, that's why they're still cattle rustling in the 21 st century.
The world bank recent report came out and said the cost of corruption to Kenya is 680B. These roads coast a fraction of that. 680b would network the entire country plus leave some more money for universal healthcare and free secondary education. That said corruption should be the number one issue come this election. If you are a presidential candidate and corruption is not top of your agenda you have no business being President. Because even if you say you will bring jobs and the like, these jobs require funds/money and if the money is being corrupted how the hell are you going to create jobs. Macharia CS of transport said once dongu Kundu is complete it will attract 200,000 jobs. All because the infrastructure will enable 200,000 jobs to be created. So there is a direct relation between money and jobs. there is a cause and effect relation between corruption and jobs. More corruption less jobs, less corruption more jobs.
@@manasseskamau5327 And that is why Uhuru insists he does not want the country to be run by thieves because he has seen the cost of corruption. It drains the life blood of the economy
@@patricknjogu2962 In the first term of your administration you are really just getting a feel, you are appointing people whom you hope share your same vision. But the first adminsitrion folk think that it is now their time to eat and by the time you realize whats going on, its already close to almost your first term over, and then you are preparing to get reelected. In the second term you have learnt your lessons and time to rid off the corrupt or folk who do not share your vision. Same thing happened to Kibaki in his first term. Remember he had to get rid of his close friends due to corruption issues but then once he got reelected he could then refocus and bring in a new team that shared his vision.
I grew up in Taiwan in the 70s. President launched 10 major infrastructures including the first highway, and faced strong opposition based on budget. President said “if we don’t do it today, we will regret tomorrow” and borrowed money from Saudi Arabia; and these infrastructures kicked off the extremely rapid growth of economy.
Even after all that positivity that the infrastructure has done, the lady newscaster is still talking about the cost that has gone down in making this dream come true to those kenyans in mashinani, show me any country including America Britain or German that does not borrow to finance infrastructure or maybe she lives in places like muthaiga that's why she doesn't care other parts of the country people living in dusty pot holed roads at least we can see what the borrowing is doing unlike during the past governments that borrowed and nothing was done ,I read somewhere that Kenya is still paying for loans that were borrowed around 1975 for projects that were never implemented
Hongera sana Rais Kenyatta!! Kama mwana-bara nimefurahia sana haya maendeleo...naomba maulana sana haya majenzi yote yakamilike to perfection👌. Hapo Sasa ndio watu wa-nairobi watajua sisi ni akina nani! We will now be competing on an equal footing coz Mombasa nd Pwani as a whole has suffered from soo much neglect from the National govt..
Most parts of Kenya including the western, eastern, coastal region all suffered because it was imperial presidency. But now there is devolution for all, we must take advantage and develop 🇰🇪 🇰🇪
Good to see all the infrastructure up but careful boy Mombasa will never reach up the level ofinfrastructure in Nairobi let's start with housing, clean pure water, sanitation
If you guys can stop looting Kenyan's taxes,several roads could have been laid (pesa ziko lakini wezi hawana aibu wao nikama mchwa,wamepewa idhini ya kupora uchumi wawezavyo)
The easiest road to Nairobi from Hola is Hola_Mtomo road via Wayu town.Encourage the government also to do something to this road.This will also ease commodities from kitui to tanariver and even lamu if these roads are constructed
Garsen_Hola and Garissa road are a short cut to Nairobi.Citizen, encourage the government to reconstruct Garsen to Garissa road.The road has started cracking and in some areas there are a lot of potholes.The road to Garissa is very bad.Plz do something citizen.
Chose the right leaders , you can't expect infrastructure development if you have a corrupt governor that doesn't know how to distribute funds into meaningful projects
@@itgamingke corrupt leaders are in every county..it's up to the public or citizens of that county to check their mini governments..but do Kenyans participate in public affairs?? Nope. They always pretend to be too busy hustling. That's why these people steal with wanton abandon.

@@beautifulmind1177 very worth. It reduces transport from 4hrs to 45 Minutes. That's time saved and hence will lead to growth and that Money will be recovered in a few years
@@iannjoroge2016 businesses doesn’t print money that’s what you forget and remember money isn’t like Mainze or bean multiply itself 💰 stealing money and keeping outside the country that’s country poor
In Kenya roads are classified from A (Int'l trunk roads) to E (minor roads). The quality varies greatly across the 5 tiers. For instance, the Mariakani - Bamba road is C107, that's tier 3 road done by KURA. It means, the road isnt used heavily, traffic is low, tonnage is low etc. Much as it looks poorly done, it will serve the purpose. The Chinese are majorly building Tier 1 and 2 roads which require a higher grade given the expected usage.
@@michaelafubwa8125-Stop spinning in favour of mediocrity. African engineers are mediocre. Roads are too narrow.There is something called the shoulders that prevents erosion on the sides, something Kenyan engineers don't construct
@@pharoah-ahmose6075 what I stated is facts. Point out anything misleading in my statement. The whole country cannot have A1 road quality. The return to investment would be negative. Second, without data you have condemned all African engineers. Have you assessed the work of SA, Botswana, Namibia, Rwanda, Tanzania engineers etc? Have you assessed the work of all Kenyan engineers? That’s a spurious statement.
@@pharoah-ahmose6075 and ……the width of the road is not determined by engineers but the available budget. You can’t live a champagne lifestyle on a beer budget.
@@michaelafubwa8125 -And this is the reason why we black people are the most despised humans on the planet because of your reasoning. The money is budgeted for to construct wide roads but most of the money ends up in the pockets of some of the officials.
Well I'm sure the price has been inflated, but I also understand that since it was a high risk project because of the frequent Al Shabaab attacks, the contractor may have demanded more money.
Kwanza ni kuelewa kwa nini institutions zilipata hio culture. Jibu?: Kutoka mwanzo(1920), zilitengenezwa kuchukua kutoka kwa umma. Kwa hivyo, hilo ndio jambo la kwanza kuelewa halafu kutoka hapo tutakuwa na uhakika imara. Na kwa imara na maanisha imara. Mambo yataanza kuji nyoosha yenyewe. Kwa hivyo kitu muhimu ni KUELEWA.
