Legacy: The roads and dams Uhuru built

Mau Mau road.

Land compensation hiccups are delaying the delivery of crucial projects in Mt Kenya that are at the heart of the Uhuru legacy.

The construction of the Sh30b 84-kilometre Kenol-Makutano-Sagana-Marua dual carriage is stuck at the border of Nyeri and Kirinyaga counties with land owners in the former yet to be paid to allow expansion of the road reserve.

The contractor in the section who is covering the Sagana-Marua stretch has already scaled down work on the section in Nyeri County and moved back most of the machinery to Kirinyaga County awaiting the compensation of affected land owners.
