Locals within KK, Segero and Kasarani settlements in Uasin Gishu County have been assured that ongoing road projects in the areas will be completed as stipulated in contracts.
The projects are being implemented under the World Bank-funded Kenya Informal Settlements Project (KISIP) in partnership with the County Government of Uasin Gishu.
According to lead consultant, Eng. Silas Aluora, construction of the roads is set to meet high standards, with careful attention to detail.
Eng Aluora gave the assurance during a meeting that brought together members of the Settlement Executive Committee (SEC) from the three areas along with area MCA Francis Muya.
The members met with the KISIP County Coordinator Nelly Jerotich, GA Consultants, and contractor ASAL Frontiers to receive an update on the progress of the project.
“We ask that you remain interested and involved in the progress of this project,” Eng. Silas Aluora emphasized.
“You are our eyes on the ground, and it’s vital that any issues or concerns surrounding the project be communicated to us promptly.”

Regarding the progress of the roads in the three settlements, the contractor said KK settlement road construction which is 0.38 km tarmac road will be accompanied by a complete drainage, walkways, and security lights.
Segero’s 0.97 km road is also under construction, with the sub-base layer already in place.
Excavations have been made for side drains, and work will proceed with the installation of walkways and streetlights once drainage works are completed.
In addition, Kasarani is set to receive a 0.8 km road, also including drainage, walkways, and streetlights.
Langas MCA Francis Muya confirmed that the project has also had a positive impact on local employment, with youth from the community working on-site and witnessing the transformation of their area.
County Programme Coordinator Ms. Nelly Jerotich encouraged the SEC to ensure that any grievances were raised through the proper channels for timely resolution.
She also assured the stakeholders that the contractor is adhering to the project schedule, and the works are expected to be completed before the start of the new financial year in June 2025.
