At the completion, the project was expected to revolutionise urban infrastructure and services in 13 selected towns across the five counties.
They included Nairobi, Ruiru, Kikuyu, Kangundo, Tala, Thika, Mavoko, Karuri, Ngong, Limuru, Kiambu, Kitengela, Juja and Ongata Rongai.
Markets, bus parks, street lights and roads among projects completed in Nairobi, Machakos, Kajiado and Kiambu counties.
Almost eight years ago, the World Bank allocated Sh29 billion to revamp urban services and infrastructure in the Nairobi Metropolitan area covering Kajiado, Kiambu, Machakos, Murang’a and Nairobi counties.
The money was to cover 90 per cent of the project’s total cost of over Sh33 billion ($330 million). The project was aimed at boosting the economy and creating jobs by improving key infrastructure and services in the region.
