The contract is the first phase of a 25 year 63 billion dollars project dubbed Shimoni Integrated Development Project (SIDEP).
The first phase is meant to develop all Kwale County roads (classified and non classified) to bitumen standard before embarking on the ambitious multiple layered initiative that is set to revolutionize the County’s economy.

Munganga said the entire road network is set to cover 1,809 Kilometres.
