We are also undertaking one of the most ambitious urban road improvement programmes in Nairobi's history, with 729km of roads under routine maintenance and more roads under rehabilitation across the city. Together, these projects are systematically addressing the traffic congestion that has hindered the growth of our capital for decades. Our goal is to build infrastructure that delivers a modern, efficient and globally competitive capital city, the gateway to Eastern Africa.(William Samoei Ruto, PhD)
