The NMS recently said that, it intends to speed up road repairs across the capital, with work on a new asphalt (bitumen) plant almost complete. NMS Transport, Roads and Public Works director Michael Ochieng said the plant on Kangundo Road would produce 2,400 tonnes of bitumen daily. The Nanyuki Road plant can only produce 150 to 300 tonnes of asphalt a day, slowing down the pace of the road improvement project. Mr Ochieng said completion of the Kangundo Road plant would boost the project and beat the set deadline.
