"The project will soon be providing the precious commodity to hundreds of households once laying of pipes is completed,'' said Dr Mutua, Thursday.

He noted his government fully appreciates the role of quality infrastructure in improving the economy of any society.

"This road increases the number of ongoing road projects in the county currently being constructed by the two tiers of government. This is what Maendeleo Chap Chap stands for-squeezing the shilling so as to provide quality efficient services to our people.''

The opening of the road comes after Dr Mutua opened the Kathiani-Kakuyuni-Kangundo intersection road constructed using monies, equipment and staff of the Machakos county government.
