President Uhuru Kenyatta’s unannounced visits to roads and other infrastructure projects at the Coast surprised contractors and is expected to hasten projects completion and ensure quality work.
Mr Kenyatta, who was accompanied by Transport Cabinet secretary James Macharia, inspected projects in Lamu, Kilifi, Tana River and Kwale counties. The president ordered most road projects to be completed within a year including the Lamu-Garsen Road which he launched during the presidential campaign last year. He also inspected the Sh2.5 trillion Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (Lapsset) corridor site at Kililana.
