By GERALD ANDAEMore by this AuthorPresident Uhuru Kenyatta has launched Sh2.7 billion project for reconstruction of roads in 11 constituencies in Nairobi’s Eastlands amid complaints of the poor state of infrastructure in the city’s most populous estates. The upgrade, which is part of the Nairobi Regeneration Programme, will see the repair of more than 80 kilometres of roads in the first phase. The repairs are a pact between the national government and the City Hall in a deal that will see governor Mike Sonko-led government take fewer responsibilities for Nairobi roads. The roads covered by the project include Komarock Road, Harambee Estate Sacco roads, Eastern Bypass — Kayole Spin Road, Donholm Phase V and VIII roads, Eldoret Road and Nyasa Road. The national government is contributing Sh1.8 billion of the total cost of the road’s project with the Nairobi County government giving Sh900 million.
