Ndugu, STOP misleading Kenyans! The road criss-crosses Kitutu Chache North and South constituencies in Kisii County, and is 64.6 km. The project was initially awarded on 11th May, 2016, and works commenced on 5th August, 2016, after its launch by President Uhuru Kenyatta. But the contract was mutually terminated on 16th May, 2023, due to the contractor's non-performance. At the time of termination, the contractor had completed 27km, with 77 months having lapsed out of the 30-month contract period. The project was re-tendered and awarded on 14th March 2024, with works commencing on 22nd June 2024. President William Samoei Ruto, PhD officially relaunched the newly awarded road contract, fulfilling his pledge to complete all stalled road projects. The contract period for the works is 42 months and a further maintenance period of 36 months. FYI: A project launch is often just a ceremonial event, and it sometimes occurs after works have already begun, hence the phrase ‘OFFICIAL LAUNCH’. Don’t overly concern yourself with plaques. You should’ve gone to Kegogi-Sombogo-Marani-Ititi section where works are ongoing. Today’s photos of the ongoing works below:

President William Ruto inspects section 1 of the 257 km Lamu-Ijara-Garissa road (LAPSSET corridor), which was previously a gravel road and is now being upgraded to tarmac under his directive. So far, 20 km has been tarmacked from Garissa and 5 km from Lamu, with the road set to connect with Isiolo and eventually reach Ethiopia. This upgrade aims to strengthen the transport corridor, boosting trade, mobility, and economic growth as President Ruto continues his efforts to improve access to the long-neglected roads of the North Eastern region.

Some key takeaways from the President’s national address: President Ruto directs a KSh 10 reduction in diesel prices in the next fuel cycle (June–July) to cushion Kenyans amid the fuel crisis. • Government has spent KSh 28.19 BILLION in fuel stabilisation (PDL) & tax relief (VAT reduction from 16% to 8% on petroleum) in just TWO pricing cycles (April-May & May-June) • Without Government intervention: Petrol would be KSh 230/L Diesel would be KSh 277/L Kerosene would be KSh 270/L • No fuel shortage in Kenya. The G-to-G fuel deal remains crucial in ensuring uninterrupted fuel supply across the country. • Government energy solutions to reduce fuel import dependence & external oil shocks include: - Turkana oil production - Development of a regional refinery - Expansion of renewable energy - Modern public transport systems - Electric mobility adoption • President Ruto directs duty-free importation for the first 100,000 electric vehicles (EVs) for public & private use in Kenya. • Government to integrate EVs, with 3,000 already ordered for security & administration officers. • Government to continue attracting EV manufacturers to set up in Kenya. Following consultations with transport stakeholders, the government will: - Engage banks on financial relief for transport operators - Address insurance claim concerns affecting public transport operators - Review the Insurance Act & Auctioneers Act within three months - Engage ride-hailing firms & drivers on minimum taxi fares & sector disputes - Support safe use of artwork & graffiti on matatus
