The county boss said the works form part of an intensive maintenance programme being implemented through the Department of Roads under the Boresha Barabara initiative.

“I have given out machines, a roller, a grader, I’ll even add equipment required for pouring water, and everything else...They will bring my machines once they have finished the road works,” he said.
The governor reiterated that improved road infrastructure remains central to enhancing mobility, supporting local businesses, and reducing transport challenges for residents across the county.
