President Ruto Launches Construction of 64km Tarbaj–Kotulo Road Section of the Horn of Africa Gateway Project in Wajir

H.E President William Ruto today launched the construction of the 64km Tarbaj–Kotulo section of the Horn of Africa Gateway Development Project in Tarbaj Constituency, Wajir County.

The Horn of Africa Gateway Development Project, spanning approximately 750 kilometres from Isiolo to Mandera through Wajir, is a transformative infrastructure investment aimed at enhancing connectivity across Northern Kenya and strengthening regional trade links with Ethiopia and Somalia.

The project is expected to facilitate the movement of people and goods, reduce transport costs, improve access to markets, and unlock economic opportunities, particularly in the livestock sector, which remains a key driver of the region's economy.

With improved security and sustained infrastructure investments, Northern Kenya is increasingly positioned to attract investment, stimulate economic growth, and improve livelihoods for communities across the region.

The event was attended by the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport, Hon. Davis Chirchir, Principal Secretary for Roads Eng. Joseph Mbugua, the Governor of Wajir County FCPA Ahmed Abdullai Jiir, and other national and local leaders.
