CONTRACTOR TO RESUME WORK ON MARALAL –LOOSUK ROAD AS SAMBURU WEST SUB-COUNTY TAKES SHAPE
Samburu West MP Hon. Naisula Lesuuda, OGW, has announced that the contractor handling the Maralal–Loosuk road project will return to site on Monday following successful consultations with KERRA and the contractor.
According to the MP, the immediate focus will be on road maintenance to ensure the route is passable. KERRA has also committed to releasing funds that had previously stalled progress, while the contractor attributed part of the delay to the heavy rains experienced in the area.
Hon. Lesuuda further revealed that the newly established Samburu West Sub-County is progressing well, with a Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) set to be posted by the end of this week. Other officers are expected to follow soon after.
Funds have already been allocated for the construction of the Sub-County Headquarters at Loosuk, with final touches being made to the prototype design ahead of the procurement process.
In addition, the MP noted that there is an agreement with relevant authorities on the urgent need to establish two additional divisions, as proposed during the public participation process.
Hon. Lesuuda reaffirmed her commitment to ensuring all promises made to the people of Samburu West are fully realized, emphasizing that she will continue following up on all matters affecting her constituents.
