No meaningful development can take root without reliable roads and a strong transport network. Yet, some parts of the country have remained behind because their leaders have spent more time on petty politics than on improving the lives of their people.
It is ironic to hear leaders who could not sweep their own backyards promising to fix the nation.
Development, however, is measured by what reaches the people, and the Emali–Matiliku–Ukia corridor is a case in point.
The 42-kilometre Ukia–Emali (B107) Road, launched by H.E. President @WilliamsRuto in November 2025, has registered tremendous progress and is well on course for completion.
Its first phase involves upgrading the 20-kilometre Emali–Matiliku section to bitumen standards, ultimately linking Emali, Matiliku and Ukia, with future connectivity to Wote Town.
Once complete, the road will open up Makueni's productive agricultural areas, ease access to the Nairobi–Mombasa Highway (A1), reduce transport costs and strengthen the movement of people, goods and services to markets.
The State Department for Internal Security and National Administration continues to support the project, recognising that reliable road infrastructure is essential not only for economic activity, but also for security, effective administration and timely access to essential services for communities along the corridor. https://t.co/Qyjk0iv0fx

@anj_116_ When you are invited for Driver job interview , you will most likely be asked, " If you are driving a company van full of staff members and suddenly a child rushes to the road say 10metres infront of you while speeding at 80km/h what action will you do as company driver?
