President William Ruto announcement on the tarmacking of a 55-kilometer road in Ol Kalou, Nyandarua County has been met with mixed reactions online.
It turns out the same road works were launched in November 2018 by the then Deputy President.
Ruto stated that the project would include tarmacked roads connecting improving access to Ol Kalou Town.
“Earlier, launched the tarmacking of the 55-Kilometre Captain-Ndemi/Wanjohi-Kwa Matu-Geta-Kahuruko-Ndunyu Njeru Road and addressed wananchi at the Ndunyu Njeru Trading Centre and Ol Kalou Town.”
However in 2018, President William Ruto put out a statement that the tarmacking would begin after launching the works.
“During the launch of construction works of the 55km Captain-Ndemi-Wanjohi-Kwa Matu-Geta-Kahuruko-Ndunyu Njeru and Access to Karima Girls High School Roads at Captain and opening of Ol Kalou CDF office, Ol Kalou, Nyandarua County.” The 2018 statement read.
The government is yet to clarify on the alleged confusion.
Supporters who came to the defense of the President, claimed the road was hit by funding hitch owing to the strained relations between Ruto and his former boss Uhuru Kenyatta.
