Residents of Kewet village in Ainabkoi/Olare Ward have expressed gratitude to Governor Dr Jonathan Bii,EGH, for fulfilling his pre-election promise of improving Kewet road, which is a crucial avenue for their mobility.

County Chief Officer for Roads, Eng Abraham Kiptalam, led the inspection of the road and other ongoing road improvement projects in Ainabkoi/Olare Ward, Ainabkoi Sub County.

“The County is keen on having quality roads. After grading, we will apply murram and compact all these roads for them to remain in good condition for many years,” Eng Kiptalam said.

According to residents led by Wilson Rotich and Jonathan Korir, the road from Burnt Forest to Block 9 had been forgotten for decades and it had affected them negatively. “Many of us here are farmers but poor road infrastructure has been our biggest challenge. We plant Maize, Irish Potatoes Cabbages, others do dairy farming. It will be easier to access the market in Burnt Forest and Eldoret,” Korir said.

Later in the evening, Eng. Kiptalam held a meeting on the progress of heavy machinery operators working in the area at Karungu area. Other projects include; Welelo Road which connects to Karungu Trading Centre and Tingwa- Langas road.
