KeNHA Announces Upgrade of Key Road Leading to Kalonzo Musyoka’s Tseikuru Home
The government has announced plans to upgrade the Kyuso–Tseikuru Road in Kitui County, a key route leading to Tseikuru, the native home of Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
According to a tender notice published by the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) on Tuesday, December 23, the project will involve improving the existing road to durable bitumen standards, a move expected to enhance connectivity and ease transport in the area.
KeNHA stated that a mandatory pre-tender site visit has been scheduled for January 15, 2026, at Kandwia shopping centre, starting at 10:00 a.m. The visit is meant to allow prospective contractors to familiarize themselves with the scope and conditions of the project before submitting bids.
The announcement comes barely a week after President William Ruto, while attending the Tobongu’lore Cultural Festival in Turkana, took a swipe at Kalonzo Musyoka over the state of the road. The President questioned why the road remained in poor condition despite Kalonzo’s more than 40-year political career, including his tenure as Vice President during the late President Mwai Kibaki’s administration.
The planned road upgrade is now expected to attract attention not only for its economic impact but also for its political symbolism as rivalry between the two leaders continues to play out in public forums.
