Haya @ Swenani...maybe better but still a mess in my eyes compared to just digging one section, completing it and then moving to the next. I hope they take advantage of the Christmas break and finish up as much as possible i.e. by the time we resume in 2015, hopefully Mara Road will be done. The businesses there are suffering big time

Don't blame the contractor because without money for financing the actual construction, he couldn't be philanthropic enough to use his own money. Its the ministry that is disbursing little funds over long durations hence the delay. But had he been given all the money at once, that's a project that should not take more than 1.5 years!!

The Employer of this contractor is to blame for the mess around Upper Hill. If the contractor is in default, he should be dealt with as per conditions of civil engineering contract including being fired. The engineers of the employer should be taken to task for the mess and delays in completion

Transport PS John Mosonik said the construction of the 5.4km stretch is expected to be ready at the end of March — further delaying works whose completion has been delayed at least four times.

The PS had earlier assured users of the roads in Upper Hill — the city’s hub for commercial offices — that the project would be completed before the year ends after missed deadlines of end of May, July 1 and then August 27.

I suspect this road is purely and directly being funded by GK.

In such cases the money comes slooooowly

The end of March is here.....nothing has changed fundamentally and we still don't have roads in Upper Hill.

Kenyans, see how your money gets eaten.
