Lodwar, May 7, 2026 (Public Communication and Media Relations)

Two roads totaling 115 kilometers in Aroo and Kibish sub-counties have been officially reopened following upgrades supported by the County Government and the Roads Levy Maintenance Fund (RLMF).

The 70km Lorogon-Nakwamoru road in Aroo and the 45km Kaikor-Napak road in Kibish were declared open after a joint inspection and have now been handed over to the public.

The works improved surface quality, motorability, and drainage systems on both routes.

County Chief Officer for Roads Mark Achilla said the Kaikor-Napak road was prioritized to ease transport and boost trade along the Kenyan-Ethiopian border in Kibish.

“We have been working closely with the Roads Levy Maintenance Fund to ensure our roads serve their purpose,” Achilla said during the handover.

He added that the projects are part of ongoing county efforts to expand and maintain road networks, with more roads slated for rollout in the coming months.

Roads engineer Jacob Kataboi also attended the handover.
