Deputy Governor Titus Ntichiu, who was accompanied by CEC in charge of Physical Panning Jeremiah Lenya, respective Chief Officer Martin Gitiye and Municipal Manager Joseph Muguna on an inspection tour of Meru Town’s upgrading works, issued a three week ultimatum for completion of Meru town upgrading works.

Whilst the work is being done well, Ntuchiu said the County administration is concerned about the public outcry due to the slow pace at which the work is being done.

He was assertive the task has to be finished by August the 3rd 2019, or else the contractor get penalized as per the contractual terms.

The project was expected to be complete by June this year, but derailed inconveniencing traders, buyers, motorists and pedestrians.

Lorna Mugambi,County Landscaping Artchitect, said Njuri Ncheke Street will be fixed with recreation seats, pedestrian walkways, crossing and planted select flowers that will work to absorb motor fumes for improved air quality.
