Good Tidings in the Offing For Uasin Gishu Residents

The Department of Roads, Transport and Public Works and road agencies in Uasin Gishu have embarked on an exercise of analyzing data collected during field visits to the Eastern and Southern bypasses to come up with a list of priority link roads.

This comes barely a week after a consultative meeting held by Governor Dr.Jonathan Bii with Uasin Gishu leaders and representatives from different national government road agencies to identify and map missing link roads to be opened up in Eldoret town to enhance the movement of goods and services within and outside the county.

The proposed link roads to enhance connectivity along the Eastern and Southern bypasses will be reviewed later for improvement to bitumen standards. The project will also see the improvement of shopping centers, access to social amenities, and government institutions.

The success of the project will play a significant part in the realization of the Nguzo Kumi agenda number six on enhanced infrastructure to improve the social and economic status of residents of Uasin Gishu.

After the analysis and compilation of data collected, the report will be presented to the county leadership who will forward it to the national Ministry of Roads, Transport and Public Works for consideration.

The meeting comprising of engineers from Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA), Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), and Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA was moderated by Uasin Gishu County Roads Director Eng. Julius Ronoh and his deputy Eng.Linus Yego.
