The Government is on course to turning Kenya into one the top investment destinations in the world.

President William Ruto said the decision to put more funds in the upgrading of roads will elevate the country’s profile and spur trade.

He noted that no part will be left behind in the overhaul of infrastructure across the country. “The means to growing the economy and creating jobs is through the modernisation of our infrastructure,” he explained.

The President spoke in Nakuru County on Saturday where he launched the Kiambiriria-Kuresoi-Chepsir Road.

Access to resources

He pointed out that the 40-Kilometre stretch cutting across the agriculturally-rich Kuresoi North Constituency will facilitate access to resources, opportunities and services.

“This is the time to get it right; it is our chance to transform Kenya through the Plan.”

For the last one week, President Ruto has launched and inspected various roads projects in four different counties.

Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen observed that this is a pointer to the fact that roads are arteries through which opportunities flow.

“With better roads, we can make Kenya more equal and prosperous,” he added.

On Wednesday while in Laikipia County, the President launched the upgrading to bitumen standard of Ngobit-Withare-Limuria-Ngobit Girls and Kihara Primary School roads.

The following day, he was in Nyandarua for the launch of the tarmacking of the 44-Kilometre Boiman – Kwa Mumbi roads in Ol Joro Orok.

At the event, President Ruto lauded the Kenya Rural Roads Authority for its focus on the last mile connectivity that has eased access in the country.
