The Embu County Government, through the Department of Roads and Public Works, has conducted technical inspections of road maintenance projects in Gaturi North and Gaturi South wards in Runyenjes Constituency.

In Gaturi North Ward, the technical team inspected the maintenance works on the Kianjokoma Kamugere Njumbiri Kevote road. The scope of works included gravelling, murraming, compacting, and installation of an 8 metre culvert with a diameter of 600mm. Residents welcomed the project, noting that the road had previously become impassable, especially during the rainy season.

The committee unanimously confirmed that the works were satisfactorily completed in accordance with the contract specifications and the Bill of Quantities.

In Kyeni South Ward, the technical team also inspected maintenance works on the Kasafari Karurumo road. The project involved grading, murraming sections of the road, and hand packing at Iriviro area, which had experienced persistent water flooding challenges. The hand packing works are expected to improve accessibility and ensure the road remains passable during the rainy season.
