Economy President Ruto cuts Lamu-Garissa road cash that got Sh2.8bn before Uhuru Kenyatta exitMotorists drive through a section of the Mtwapa-Kilifi Road where a culvert is under construction in this photo taken on February 19, 2023. The ongoing dualling of the 40 km road was launched by President William Ruto. The road cuts through Boni Forest, a hideout for the terror group, that has disrupted the movement of goods and people. In the current financial year, the project, which started in April 2021, had been allocated Sh2.87 billion. Other road projects that received additional funds just before the General Election include the dualling of Eastern Bypass (Sh5 billion) and the construction of Makupa Causeway (Sh1.85 billion).
