Tuesday, December 23,
2025 - The Government has unveiled plans to upgrade the Kyuso-Tseikuru Road
in Kitui County, a route leading to Tseikuru, the native home of Wiper Party
leader, Kalonzo Musyoka.
The announcement follows a tender notice published by the
Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) on Tuesday, December 23rd,
inviting bids for the strengthening and upgrading of the road to durable
bitumen standards.
KeNHA confirmed that a mandatory pre‑tender site visit will
take place at Kandwia Shopping Centre on January 15th, 2026, at 10
a.m.
Tender documents are available on the Authority’s website
and the Public Procurement Information Portal (PPIP).
The road has remained dusty and muddy for decades, despite
repeated calls for improvement.
The timing of the announcement has sparked political
speculation, coming just days after President William Ruto’s fiery remarks
targeting Kalonzo.
On December 15th, Ruto questioned why the road
had not been upgraded during Kalonzo’s four‑decade political career, including
his tenure as Vice President under the late President Mwai Kibaki.
“How do you campaign for development when the road to your
own home is still dusty?” Ruto asked.
In response, Kalonzo accused the Head of State of focusing
on personal attacks rather than delivering infrastructure projects nationwide.
He defended his record, citing major initiatives he oversaw
in Kitui and across the region.
