The Voi-Taveta road, connecting Kenya and Tanzania, has been completed ahead of schedule and is due for handing over in January. It is one of the Jubilee government flagship projects and cost Sh8.4 billion. Ninety one 91 per cent of the funding was a loan from the African Development Fund and nine per cent was from the government. Construction on the 98.4km road started in May 2014. It was due for completion next May, according to the Kenya National Highways Authority. The road is a vital connection between the two countries and its completion signifies a major step in cross-border trade. It is expected to open up the Mt Kilimanjaro agriculturally rich zone and Taveta which is a major source of bananas, vegetables and fruits that are sold at Mombasa’s Kongowea open air market.

“The Arusha-Holili/Taveta-Voi roads cover 90km from Voi to Taveta and nine additional kilometers within Taveta town,” said the roads authority.

True, it will be done before commissioning. Lakini sasa importers/exporters from North Tz have a shortcut to Mombasa port, which is closer than Dar port, cheaper and much more efficient.

kuna jamaa alikuwa ananiambia it was easier for him to use the Namanga, Arusha, Holili route that try to approach his ocha from voi, at least sasa ataweza kufika home bila kuingia kwa jirani.
