Mutua one-ups his peers with new road
The 33-kilometer road was built at a cost of Sh650 million over just three months. The road acts a critical linkage cutting across Machakos county, joining Garissa road to the Machakos-Kitui Road.
Speaking during the official opening on Thursday, Mutua said the link road is considered important for economic development not only in the county but for the country as a whole.
“The original Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) estimate cost for the construction of the road was Sh1.6 billion. Machakos government has used a third of that estimate,” Mutua said.
The road was constructed by 11 contractors, each doing three kilometers, which Mutua attributes to be the reason for the faster completion.
