Abstract:
Economic development of any country depends
mainly on its infrastructure. Government of Kenya’s Vision
2030 aspires for the country to be firmly interconnected
through a network of roads, railways, ports, airports, water
and sanitation facilities, and telecommunications.
Improvement of infrastructure is seen as fundamental to the
growth of the identified driving sectors of the economy. In
Kenya, road networks in the rural areas have greatly
hampered the economic growth due to inaccessibility. Several
development partners and more so, the Kenyan government
has initiated several projects to improve this situation. One
way of doing this has been allocation of funds towards
improvement of roads in rural areas. Despite the heavy
investment in this initiative the government still faces a
number of challenges in relation to the development.
