631 Million Shillings Missing? Unfinished Road Sparks Outrage in Meru County

The 631 Million Shilling Question: Unfinished Roads and Markets in Meru County, Kenya Igembe North, Meru County, Kenya – A recent video by Kebaso Morara, leader of the INJECT Party, has brought to light concerns about the completion of the 631 million shilling Kaelo-Kamukunji-Mutwati road project. The project, launched in April 2023, was promised to be completed by December 2023. However, a site visit in May 2025 reveals a starkly different reality. The video shows several dead markets, with unfinished structures and a lack of basic amenities. "Most places you go to in Meru, you'll find a market like this," Morara states in the video, showcasing rows of empty market stalls. The video also reveals that only a small section of the road itself has been completed. Morara's video raises concerns about transparency and accountability in the allocation of public funds. The video's visual evidence, combined with Morara's direct observations, creates a compelling case for further investigation into the project's management and spending. While the video highlights a concerning situation, it also serves as a call for greater transparency and accountability in public works projects. The hope is that this will lead to improvements in infrastructure development and better use of public funds in the future.
