The Isiolo-Wajir-Mandera road is a critical infrastructure project aimed at improving connectivity in Kenya’s northeastern region, which has long suffered from poor road networks and insecurity.
The government has touted the project as a game-changer for economic development and security enhancement in the area.
However, concerns remain over security challenges, given the region’s history of banditry and instability.
The discussions with the World Bank signal efforts to ensure the project proceeds smoothly amid these challenges.
