Ahead of the Madaraka Day celebrations in Wajir County, the Government’s flagship infrastructure projects are transforming urban mobility and connectivity across Northern Kenya. Among them is the Wajir County Access Roads Upgrade Project, implemented by the Kenya Urban Roads Authority at a cost of KSh1.9 billion.
The project has delivered 25.1 kilometres of newly constructed and rehabilitated roads, including the Furaha Girls–Wajir Stadium Road and the A2–Manyalo Junction–Stadium Ring Road, providing seamless access to the Madaraka Day venue and key public facilities. Upgraded roads serving the County Commissioner’s residence, affordable housing units, County Police Commander’s offices, Wajir Museum and Police Quarters are also improving accessibility and service delivery.
These flagship projects are opening up the region, enhancing the movement of people and goods, stimulating trade, and connecting communities to opportunities. They reflect the Government’s commitment to inclusive development and ensuring that Northern Kenya remains firmly on the path to growth and prosperity.
