“I was informed that the construction of the Dongo Kundu Bypass (Mombasa) is coming along well and is expected to be completed by March 2024. This road is crucial in opening up the Dongo Kundu Special Zone to investors,” he said.
“The Japanese government has given Kenya grants and loans worth Sh56 billion to ensure that this project is successful.”
He spoke at a meeting with Japanese Ambassador Ken Okaniwa on Wednesday.
Kuria said they had a discussion on the projects the Japanese government is cooperating with Kenya.
