By JAMES KARIUKIMore by this AuthorThe State says it plans to build a Sh30 billion network of roads known as Mau Mau Road within two years. Speaking at a contractors site visit along the proposed road snaking through 69 markets in Nyeri, Murang’a, Nyandarua and Kiambu, Transport Secretary James Macharia said four contractors have been engaged. The new road also creates an economic impetus for Murang’a and Nyeri that lack tarmacked road links to agriculture-rich Nyandarua County. The road will also reduce the distance covered from Gatundu North to Gatanga that is hindered by sharp ridges.
