People living near the damaged Murang'a-Kiriaini road want repairs to happen faster. The road closed last year after heavy rain washed away parts of it. President Ruto promised 100 million shillings for repairs when he visited in August. Drivers must travel much longer routes because of the closure. Some people need to go 30 kilometers instead of just three to reach Murang'a town.
Residents face higher costs for everything from funerals to construction projects. Many walk or use motorcycle taxis instead of cars. Driver Mike Murimi said the repairs should continue, but he needs to speed up since the alternative route costs more money. He asked other drivers to be careful on slippery roads during the current rainy weather. Sports official Elijah Mwangi agreed that the work should move faster to help residents.
The road serves as an important link between Murang'a and Nyeri counties and Nairobi. Many travelers prefer this route because it has less traffic than the main highway. Repair teams have made progress, but locals feel the pace remains slow.
