Residents of Nakuru are demanding fair compensation for land required for the planned Sh850 million expansion of Oginga Odinga Road. The issue of compensation was central during initial discussions between residents, business owners, and the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA). Locals are also seeking assurances that the project will prioritize local employment, particularly for young people. The proposed road improvements aim to address traffic congestion within Nakuru’s central business district. KURA initiated the engagement to address community concerns before the project commences. Further negotiations are expected to resolve the compensation and employment stipulations. The project’s success hinges on reaching agreements that satisfy both the authority and the affected community.
