The County Government of Nakuru has commenced the leveling of Mulwang Road in Soin Ward, Rongai Sub- County, aimed at creating a smooth and levelled road for residents to enhance accessibility and road safety in the region.
The Assistant Resident Engineer Robert Gitonga said the leveling project will involve significant groundwork to ensure that the road is not only smooth, but will also increase the overall efficiency in travelling especially for students at Mulwang Primary School.
Residents have welcomed the project, expressing optimism that the improved road will lead to better connectivity and accessibility of the area.
Peter Rotich, who spoke on behalf the community said the project was long overdue.
This signifies a positive move towards fulfilling the County’s infrastructural renovation, he added.
While commending devolution, Rotich said it would have taken years for the national engineer in Nairobi to appreciate the need for a road in a rural area. However, the proximity of the devolved governme
nt has now made it possible for the officers to acknowledge the suffering of villagers.
Eng. Gitonga said the project is just one of many road works, aimed at transforming the county into a more developed and accessible sub-county to enable farmers to market their products with ease.
He noted that Rongai is a high agricultural potential area, which just requires improved infrastructure for the quality of people’s lives to improve.
