The roads in Bungoma and Kimilili towns will be upgraded for Sh300 million provided by the World Bank as a conditional grant. Roads and Infrastructure chief officer Morris Marango said they target major roads. “We're grateful that the World Bank has given us this grant, which will ease congestion and ensure the safety of users,” he said during a public participation event at Bungoma KIE. “This project is expected to change the lives of residents of Bungoma and Kimilili and give the towns a major facelift." Nominated MCA Luke Opwora urged the contractor to begin the work on May 6 and hire jobless youths from the areas.
