The contractor will be here soon. The public was engaged for their input on Monday and I will be bringing the contractor to start construction soon,\u201d DP said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deputy President spoke on Wednesday when he inspected the ongoing construction of Mikinduri-Kunati-Gatithini Road in Tigania East, Meru County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof. Kindiki said the new bridge will be one of the longest in the region and will be properly designed to enhance safe travelling along the road.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe will have the longest bridge in this region. It will be 880m and will link Marima and Mitheru sections,\u201d DP added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, the DP said the expansion of&nbsp;Makutano-Embu-Chuka-Meru-Maua Highway is underway, promising to ensure it begins before the end of the year. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are going to ensure this road is a dual carriageway and the construction will commence this year,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the government is keen on establishment of the National Infrastructure Fund to support construction of more roads and other infrastructure projects across the country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DP said the government has allocated funds for completion of over 6000kms of roads nationally including over 350kms in Meru County.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe now have adequate funds. We have paid all the contractors 177 billion shilling and they are back to complete the projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the next Christmas, we will have completed all the 6000kms of roads&nbsp;that had stalled for many years. On top of these roads, we have more money for new roads,\u201d he declared.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DP said the Mikinduri-Kunati-Gatithini Road will be completed on time having stalled for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have 10 roads that stalled in Meru County which have been revived and are ongoing. We have funds and they are going to be completed on time,\u201d DP assured.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DP dismissed political opponents claiming that the government has done nothing in the region saying many development projects are progressing in the area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThose saying the Ruto government has done nothing for the people of Meru will be ashamed because there is a lot of work going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those claiming to be friends of Meru people should tell them what they did when they were in power,\u201d he added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Miraa export, the DP said the government has finalized plans to capitalize on the reopening of the Kenya-Somalia border to ease transportation of the crop to the neighbouring country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe will provide security for the miraa exportation through the Mandera, Liboi and Kiunga border points,\u201d DP revealed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The DP said the government has already allocated funds for the construction of a new bridge that will be safer for motorists passing through the deadly spot on the main road connecting Tharaka Nithi and Meru Counties. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14288,"featured_media":794900,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[1981,491,10424,12531],"coauthors":[2156],"class_list":["post-794898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-stories","tag-featured","tag-kenya","tag-kithure-kindiki","tag-nithi-bridge"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
