Kenya secures $215 million El Wak-Rhamu road construction funding

The Kenyan government is set to begin the 140-kilometer El Wak-Rhamu road construction after securing $215 million from the African Development Bank (AfDB). The funding announcement coincided with a tender for the supply of vehicles for the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Rapid Response Unit (RRU) in El Wak, Mandera County. This was disclosed in a notice on February 11 via MyGov. KENHA confirmed the government’s receipt of the funding, which will support the road project that had been initially planned to begin the previous year. The road project is a significant infrastructure development aimed at improving connectivity in the region, enhancing transportation and trade. This funding represents a critical step forward for the project, which is expected to have long-term economic and social benefits for the communities along the route.
