Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Kenyan government, through the Ministry of ICT has warned Kenyans to prepare for internet disruptions over the next six weeks – necessitated by an infrastructural adjustments.<\/p>\n

ICT PS Jerome Ochieng stated that the government plans to relocate the internet cables begging end of this month ahead of the construction of the 234 kilometre highway that will see a dual-carriageway constructutred from Rironi to Nakuru and then to Mau Summit.<\/p>\n

He added that locals would be given priority in job opportunities during the relocation. The 234 kilometre road construction will see improvement of transport to and from Western and the Rift Valley region of Kenya.<\/p>\n

“State Department of ICT and Innovation will undertake the relocation of fibre infrastructure to minimise downtime, it will take up to six weeks and there will be disruptions during the period,\u201d stated ICT Principal Secretary Jerome Ochieng, during a stakeholder meeting on Wednesday, July 21, in Kamandura, Limuru.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce the relocation is complete the project will continue to deliver socioeconomic transformation and help develop a huge information highway from the heart of Kenya to the rest of the country,\u201d Ochieng’ remarked.<\/p>\n

Relocation of the optic cable will be in four lots: Rironi-Naivasha via Mai Mahiu, Rironi-Naivasha, Naivasha-Nakuru and Nakuru-Mau Summit.<\/p>\n

The new design will connect to all government sites and institutions along the road as well as to the existing licensed internet service providers and telcos.<\/p>\n

The Nairobi-Mau Summit road project is part of the Trans-African Highway\u2014the main transport route serving East and Central African countries from the port of Mombasa.<\/p>\n

Kenya last year awarded the highway contract to Rift Valley Highway Limited\u2014a French consortium made up of Vinci Highways SAS, Meridian Infrastructure Africa Fund, and Vinci Concessions SAS.<\/p>\n

The project seeks to expand the road into a four-lane dual carriageway through a Public-Private Partnership model.<\/p>\n

The consortium is expected to design, finance, construct, operate and maintain the road, recouping their investment through toll charges over 30 years.<\/p>\n

The project will also involve widening the existing Rironi\u2013Mai Mahiu\u2013Naivasha road to a seven-metre carriageway with two metre shoulders on both sides.<\/p>\n

The contractor will also construct a four-kilometre elevated highway through Nakuru town, build and improve interchanges along the highway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
