New road cuts transport cost in Meru, Tharaka-Nithi counties

Before the 100-kilometre Mati road from Ena in Embu County to Meru was tarmacked, residents would spend up to six hours on a distance of less than 20 kilometres especially during the rainy season.

After more than six years since the project was launched in 2013, the road was finally completed early this year, opening up the region for business.
