Two consultancy firms appointed by the East African Community (EAC) have taken over the site for the planned 256-kilometre four-lane expressway from Kisumu to Uganda via Busia, ready to kick off feasibility studies on the project aimed at boosting regional trade.
The EAC secretariat last week handed the proposed project to Germany’s GOPA Infra Gmbh and its Kenya counterpart ITEC to run a feasibility study.
