The Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo defended the road financing model adopted by President William Ruto, arguing that the use of the Road Maintenance Levy Fund is legitimate for expanding the country’s road network. Omollo cited several projects, including the proposed route connecting Mau Summit to Kericho and the upgrade of the road from Lamu towards Isiolo to bitumen standards. He also mentioned planned roads linking Rironi to Mau Summit, Eldoret and Malaba.
