Nairobi, 2nd October 2025
In a continued demonstration of commitment to Nairobi County’s infrastructure development, CEO of the Ward Development Programme (WDP), Eng. Eston Kimathi embarked on an inspection tour of ongoing roadworks across various wards of Nairobi City County. This successive visit underscores ongoing oversight efforts to track progress, verify quality, and evaluate the impact of road projects being delivered under H.E. Governor Sakaja’s transformative city development agenda.
This phase of the tour focused on Starehe, Kasarani, and Roysambu sub counties, where roads are being rehabilitated to serve densely populated residential and commercial areas. In Ziwani Kariokor Ward, the Gikomba/Hardware Road is being upgraded to ease access to one of the city’s busiest open-air markets, directly benefiting traders and ease the movement of goods.
In Pangani Ward, works on Nico Bar Crescent and Wanjas Lane will improve connectivity and ease pedestrian and vehicular flow in the area.
Further north, in Kasarani Ward, the upgrade of SDA Chieko Road will improve access to the residential area of chieko and the adjacent local institutions. In Zimmerman Ward, two critical roads, Kiarunda and Village Inn Roads, are undergoing rehabilitation to boost accessibility in the high-density Roysambu Sub County.
Speaking during the tour, Eng. Eston emphasized WDP’s unwavering focus on delivering visible and lasting change. “This second tour confirms that our work is not only on course but also making a direct impact on people’s daily lives. We are building roads to improve last mile connectivity and improve access to markets and schools,” he said.
These developments reflect H.E Governor Sakaja’s commitment to equitable infrastructure development across Nairobi and also restore dignity to very Nairobi’s by ensuring that their last/first mile journey is comfortable.
