construction of the 750 kilometer Isiolo- Mandera Highway
The construction of the 750 kilometer Isiolo- Mandera Highway at a cost of 100 billion shillings is finally underway, after decades of pledges by successive governments.
The road connecting Isiolo- Kula Mawe- Modogashe- Samatar- Wajir- Tarbaj-Kotulo- Kobo- Elwak- Garre- Rhamu – Mandera towns has been split into 11 sections and awarded to 7 different contractors to ensure timely completion within two years.
This transport artery will turn around the economy of the Kenya of the North, it will also deal a massive blow to insecurity. Kenyans were struck by the President’s deep understanding of the project, with many raising concerns about the government’s commitment to truly implementing it.
“Ndio barabara itoke Mandera, ikuje Ramu, ikuje Garre, ikuje El-Wak, ikuje Kobo, ikuje pale Kotulo, ikuje Tarbat, ipitie hapa Wajir, iende Samatan, iteremke Modogashe, ifike Isiolo, iende Nairobi…” Ruto said in Isiolo.
