KATITO - AHERO INTERCHANGE LATEST DRONE VIEW

Katito’s strategic positioning that lies on two major highways, Kisumu – Ahero – Isibania and Kisumu – Homa Bay provides it with the advantage to blossom into a new vibrant commercial hub that will change the way of doing business within the region. #Katito #Ahero #Interchange #Drone #Kisumu #Nyakach #Kendubay #Kisii #Isebania #katitotown #Aherointerchange #Aherotown

With enough room for expansion in terms of land accessibility, major infrastructural developments resulting from the newly acquired town status are expected to unlock the economic potential of Nyakach Constituency.

Moving forward, the town will have its own development budget from the Kisumu county exchequer and will be fit to seek for investors and development partners. According to the Governor, the County Government has already identified a contractor to improve the infrastructure of the market as a start and as a show of commitment by his administration. He said his government will continue to make deliberate allocations to improve the infrastructure of all urban centres apart from seeking partnerships with development partners.

In addition, a detailed boundary delineation exercise for all towns within the county will soon be rolled out with the support of State Department of Housing and Urban Development and Katito town will be among those whose boundaries shall be established.

The Isebania-Mukuyu-Kisii-Ahero Road project is approximately 172 kilometres and it traverses four counties; Migori, Kisii, Homa Bay and Kisumu. The project starts at Ahero junction on B1 road. It then moves in a southerly direction via Katito, Onyuongo, and Nyabondo to Sondu. At Sondu it takes a south westerly direction via Kabondo, Ringa, Ober to Oyugis where it meets C26.From Oyugis it moves in a southerly direction via Mosocho and Nyamataro where it meets B3 road within Kisii town where it changes direction and moves in a south westerly direction via Suneka, Gesonso, Gasero, Kamagambo, Rongo, Ranen, Awendo, Uriri, Kakrao near Mukuyu, Migori and terminates at the Isebania border (Sirare). The major market/town centres traversed in the southerly direction include Ahero, Awach, Katito, Onywongo, Sondu, Chabera, Kadongo in Kabondo-Kasipur, Ringa, Oyugis, Mosocho, Nyakoe, Kisii, Suneka, Kamagambo, Rongo, Gucha, Ranen, Sare (Awendo), Uriri, Kakrao(Mukuyu), Migori, Isebania and Nyabikaye.

The project road condition has deteriorated over the years due to increasing transit traffic on the road. Currently, the road carriageway width measures 4-5m wide, and increasingly is becoming a major constraint for the main economic activities within the Lake Victoria basin.

Traffic accidents have increased due to the narrow and heavily potholed road condition; most regional public transport vehicles have diverted away from this route leading to limited transport service to the populations served directly by the highway. It now requires a much stronger pavement and improved geometric features.

The rehabilitation of the Isebania-Kisii-Ahero (172km) section of the Tanzania-Kenya-South Sudan Corridor will facilitate cross border movement of passengers and freight, and further enhance access to regional markets, and to social and economic centers as a result of the additional upgrading of the 75km of feeder roads contiguous with the main trunk road linking the project road with markets, social and administrative centers such as the: Oyugis-Kendu Bay road (19.5km), Nyachenge-Tabaka Ogembo road (15km), Sondu-Nyabondo road (6km), Oyugis-Gamba road (7km), Suneka-Rangwe road (18km), and Misambi-Ekerenyo road (11km). The road improvement project will entail 5m wide service roads on both sides of the road at major trading centers along the project corridor to enhance accessibility to businesses.

The improved road geometrics and enhanced pavement structure will go a long way in raising the level of service for the transit traffic.

Other components under the highway project include: establishment of Roadside Traffic Crash Trauma and Injury Recovery Centre at Nyabondo hospital consisting of: a new surgical unit, medical emergency equipment, including provision of five (5) ambulances, post-crash counseling unit, and water supply points at Nyabondo hospital and to the surrounding community.

Project cost KSHS 19.5 billion.
