President William Ruto on Tuesday chased away two contractors in Kakamega due to stalled road projects.
While addressing residents at a rally in Kakamega, Ruto said that he was working on the project with Navakholo MP Emmanuel Wangwe some time back but there was no progress.
"Together with Wangwe, we started this road from Shianda but the contractor has failed to meet project expectations and I will deal with the contractor accordingly," he said.
"Then there is another road stretching from Lurambi through Navakholo to Nambacha. I was in Sang’alo two days ago. That road has also stalled. The contractor has proved to be problematic and I have chased him away."
The President said he would announce a new tendering process in a week's time.
He said that with the new team in place, he hopes that the project will be finished in the next year.
Ruto said that he would first finish all the stalled road projects and then start new ones.
He urged the residents to take advantage of the low prices of fertiliser and invest in farming to lower the cost of living.
The President is currently on a tour of Kakamega to launch development projects.
