H.E. President William Ruto Unveils Major Road Projects to Drive Growth in Kisii County

The State Department for Roads continues to advance the Government’s infrastructure agenda through transformative projects aimed at strengthening connectivity and unlocking economic growth.
During his development tour of Kisii County, H.E. President William Ruto presided over the launch and commissioning of several key road projects designed to improve mobility and enhance access to markets and services.
In Nyaribari Chache Constituency, the President flagged off the upgrading to bitumen standard of five strategic roads—Nyabisabo–Kegati, Nyaguta–Amariba, Nyaguta–Riariga, Omosasa–Geserere, and Keumbu–Ibeno—covering approximately 50 kilometres. He also commissioned the 11.3-kilometre Sameta–Egetuki–Ikoba Road, expected to ease transport and reduce travel time.
Further, he launched the upgrading of the 17.8-kilometre Etago–Ekonamogende–Magenche/Mogenda–Nyamaiya (G40029) Road, alongside a 25-kilometre rural access network linking Nyabigena/Matangamano–Esaka–Mochengo–Ayora–Moticho–Nyansembe/Moticho–Maroo–Otendo. The Omingo–Magara Bridge and associated access roads were also launched to strengthen regional connectivity.
Implemented by the Kenya Rural Roads Authority, the projects are expected to reduce transport costs, improve access to markets, boost agricultural productivity, and stimulate local economies.
The visit was attended by senior leaders including Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport Davis Chirchir, Governor Simba Arati, Principal Secretary for Aviation Teresia Mbaika, and KeRRA Director General Eng. Jackson Magondu, among other officials.
