The New sherrif in town, Silas Murira Kinoti is expected to fulfil plans to put up Nairobi Overpass to ease traffic in town.
Murira had been holding the position in acting capacity since 2015 before officially starting his role in June 18.
Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia who put out the communique, cited that his appointment was Corruption free.
“Kinoti’s appointment follows a competitive and transparent recruitment process that was conducted by the board of Kura,” he added.
Kinoti holds a master’s in business administration Degree (Corporate Management) from KCA University and a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Degree from the University of Nairobi.
In his tenure in acting capacity, Murira oversaw a boom in construction including the expansion of Kangundo Road, Ngong Road, James Gichuru road among other developments.
His tenure will be vetted according to the rehabilitation of Kasarani-Mwiki road, which according to reports, is still at the tendering phase.
The upcoming Nairobi Overpass that seeks to reduce traffic jams between Nairobi CBD and Mombasa Road will also be under his mandate, as the state seeks to reduce costs of traffic jams in the city.
