Plans are underway to tarmack a 24 kilometer road in Thika East next month at the cost of Sh1 billion. The government will spend Sh1 billion on the road and it will be the first tarmac road in the sub-county since independence. “The roads in Thika East especially in Gatuanyaga ward have for decades been in poor conditions especially during rainy seasons. The MP said the road will open up the region for investment, boost trade and spur the region’s economy. “Expect land prices in Thika East villages to triple once the road is complete because accessibility to Thika town will be eased,” he said.
