AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Governors want the Mai Mahiu-Limuru road expanded to make the multi-billion shilling industrial park and Internal Container Depot (ICD) in the area viable.<\/p>\n

Governors Lee Kinyanjui and Samuel Tunai of Nakuru and Narok, respectively said the road experiences gridlock which adversely affects collection and delivery of goods at the depot.<\/p>\n

In the last couple of months, traffic snarl-ups lasting more than 15 hours have become the norm along the road which is also the main gateway to the Great Rift Valley<\/p>\n

Kinyanjui said motorists have complained over the man-hours lost on the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are asking the government to move with haste and expand the Mai Mahiu-Limuru road so that it can serve its purpose,\u201d he said after a closed door meeting in Naivasha yesterday.<\/p>\n

He disclosed that the county had already gazetted land around the industrial park to prevent the mushrooming of informal settlements.<\/p>\n

Kinyajui praised President Uhuru Kenyatta for the project that saw the county reserve 50 acres of land around the industrial park for use by small scale traders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe industrial park is critical to the economy of Kenya and the neighboring countries and we are keen as a county to make it successful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Tunai noted that hundreds of tourists heading to the Masai Mara get stuck for hours on the road.<\/p>\n

He added that others had missed their flights due to traffic snarl-up on the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a road that passes through Ngong to Suswa town and this can be rehabilitated for use by those heading to the Mara,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Tunai added that the closure of the Mai Mahiu-Narok road by herders protesting the killing of their livestock by motorists was eroding investor confidence in the region<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
