The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) late last year embarked on the construction of 408km of access roads in the city's informal settlements. The Nairobi Regeneration Programme that was started in 2018 after its launch by President Uhuru Kenyatta, was a collaboration between the county and national government. “With experience from phase one of the regeneration programme, we saw it would make sense to do standard roads,” he said. With access roads in place, response to emergency cases such as fire disaster and health access in informal settlements will cease to be a struggle. Others include Mukuru kwa Njenga – 70 km, Githurai ( Mihoko, Githurai 45 km) 57.5 km, Korgocho -36.3 km) and Kasarani (Mwiki and Kasarani) -42 km.
