As an overwhelmingly fertile agricultural region with a wide variety of crops to offer and receiving exceptionally high levels of rainfall, maintenance of existing roads and indeed the opening of new ones is critical in ensuring farmers keep transacting their daily businesses with ease.
In this quest, the chief officer for Transport and Infrastructure David Koech, in the company of Aldai subcounty road superintendent Matthew Lagat, on Saturday, January 11, 2025, inspected the ongoing opening of the Ndurio-Kapsumbai-Chepsiria road, the grading of Kapsoiyo-Ainapsigirio and Kapsoiyo-Kapchepkuta roads in Koyo-Ndurio ward.
The team also inspected the ongoing dozing of the Chepsitekwo-Cheptigit, Kimaren-Kamungan, Kibwareng Centre, and Chepturer-Kapinderem-Kimaren roads in Kobujoi ward.
“We have been facing difficulties getting our coffee out of the farms, so the opening of this road is a very welcome intervention. We are grateful,” said David Kemboi, a resident of Kapsumbai.
The chief officer reaffirmed the county government’s commitment to keep all roads in the best state.
“The work continues across the county until we no longer have a single road that is impassable,” remarked Mr Koech.
