Addressing residents after an inspection exercise of the ongoing works, County Executive for Roads Eng. Joseph Lagat expressed satisfaction at the speed of implementation.
He further said the mandate of his docket is to ensure that quality projects are delivered within specified timelines as envisioned by the county boss to help improve livelihoods in line with the Nguzo Kumi agenda six plan which focuses on infrastructure development.
