It was given Kshs20 million. This is a D Road class, whereas a trunk road that connects three district headquarters; Nakuru, Miragiini district headquarters and Ol Jororok has been given Kshs5 million. I wonder who influenced this decision. Was it a local engineer or a senior person in Government who influenced that a class D Road should be given Kshs20 million, when a C Road is only getting only Kshs5,000?"}
