Deputy President Kithure Kindiki on Tuesday inspected the construction of the 750-kilometre Isiolo- Mandera Highway.
The Sh100 billion project 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 seven different contractors to ensure timely completion within two years.
The highway is expected to turn around the economy of Northern Kenya and deal a massive blow to insecurity.
“Pleased to do an impromptu spot check on progress of the ongoing construction works of the 77-kilometre Kula Mawe -Isiolo section, being built at a cost of Sh8.3 billion,” he noted.
