President William Ruto has officially kicked off the construction of the Nangina–Sio Port–Okados–Mundere Road in Busia County. The 13-kilometre road, valued at KSh860 million, will connect Funyula Constituency and Budalang’i Constituency, making travel safer and more convenient for residents.
For the local community, the road is more than just a construction project. It will ease commutes to schools, hospitals, and markets, while providing farmers with a faster, safer route to deliver their produce to buyers.
Local traders and businesses are also expected to benefit from quicker movement of goods, which could boost trade and economic activity in the region.
The road is part of a broader government plan to upgrade infrastructure in border counties like Busia. Good roads help communities thrive by improving access to services, creating employment opportunities during construction, and fostering regional development.
Residents have expressed optimism about the road’s impact. Many believe it will make daily life easier and open up new opportunities for economic growth.
In addition to convenience, the project will improve access to essential services such as healthcare and education, enhancing overall quality of life in the area.
Once finished, the Nangina–Sio Port–Okados–Mundere Road will become a key link in Busia County’s transport network. The project highlights the government’s commitment to investing in infrastructure that improves livelihoods and supports sustainable development.
This road represents more than just asphalt and concrete—it is a promise of better connectivity, opportunity, and a brighter future for the people of Funyula and Budalang’i.
