Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The infrastructure investment is intended to improve local economies, particularly in rural areas, by enhancing road connectivity. The new expressway aims to provide an alternative route to the congested Thika Superhighway, which could enable farmers to move produce to markets more quickly and reduce losses from spoilage.
