In His tireless efforts to improve infrastructure and leave a legacy, today Governor Martin Wambora led a team of county government officials and area elected MCA’s in a ground survey tour of Kagaari North and Kyeni North ward.

In Kagaari North, a feeder road connecting Muthege area to Kirimiri coffee factory has been earmarked for tarmacking, Muthege area sits along Runyenjes Mukuuri road.

In Kyeni North ward, a feeder road connecting Mufu tea buying Centre, off Runyenjes Meru highway, to Kaithege tea buying Centre has also been mapped for tarmacking.

MCA’s Patrick Rugendo of Kagaari North said that Muthege-Kirimiri coffee factory feeder road comes as great relief for Muthege coffee farmers who have been using a longer route while delivering their berry to the factory.

Kyeni North’s Patrick Mukavi said that Mufu-Kaithege stretch has been a thorn in the flesh of the area residents especially during the rainy season and when tarmacked it will open so many business opportunities.

Governor Wambora further said that the road stretches through more than 20 private and public institutions.

Riders and Motorists said the newly upgraded road has come a long way in easing their daily activities and maximized their profits as they are no longer forced to incur regular repair costs mainly caused by poor roads.

Further, road users and residents living around the upgraded stretch said the project has opened up businesses and other new developments along the area.
