Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 75720, member: 636"] Kenya just finished building a 66-kilometer highway between Ngong and Suswa after the whole thing got stuck in development hell for years. The route gives drivers another way out of Nairobi, and it should take some heat off the absolutely packed Nairobi-Mai Mahiu road that people hate. The project was supposed to cost 4 billion shillings and wrap up in 42 months, but the contractor bailed in 2020 when the money dried up. Construction picked back up after fresh funding came through, and the Kenya Rural Roads Authority pushed it to 88 percent completion before finally getting it done. President William Ruto made finishing this thing one of his big goals, and the new highway connects people to Narok, Bomet, Kericho, Kisii, Nyamira, and a bunch of other spots in the Nyanza region. The road cuts through savannah land with some pretty sick Rift Valley views, which is a nice bonus. [/QUOTE]
