Narok County Launches Major Infrastructure and Health Projects in Olposimoru Ward
Narok County Governor Patrick Keturet Ole Ntutu has launched a series of ambitious development projects across Olposimoru Ward aimed at upgrading roads, improving healthcare services, and enhancing community connectivity.
During his development tour, the Governor commissioned the construction of the 7.8 km Olmariko–Tuyobei–Olposimoru Road in Olmariko and inspected the ongoing construction of the Olmariko Dispensary, which is expected to provide critical health services to residents of Olmariko, Olonamuka, Olorien, Tegat, and surrounding villages.
In a push to strengthen inter-community links, Governor Ntutu also launched the construction of the Olengape–Tegat Bridge, which will connect communities in Olposimoru, Ormariko, Kilapa, Olokurto, and neighbouring Nakuru County.
Health services in the ward received a major boost with the commissioning of a new eight-bed maternity wing at Ole Polos, designed to serve residents from Ilikiai, Enkusero, Lolongoi, Olturkoian, and Sereria villages. A second fully equipped state-of-the-art maternity wing was inaugurated at Olposimoru Dispensary, reducing the distance women previously travelled to access maternal care.
The Governor further commissioned key road projects including the 1.7 km Olposimoru Centre–Olposimoru Dispensary Road and the 13.5 km Olposimoru–Amalo–Olemesai Road, a vital transport corridor linking Narok and Nakuru Counties. The county government has so far upgraded 40 km of roads across the ward, with 20 km concentrated within Olposimoru Town to improve local mobility and economic activity.
Olposimoru Saleyard has also been operationalized, complete with new administration offices to enhance efficiency for local traders.
Additional infrastructure works are underway, including the construction of the Majengo–Mukuru Lenana Bridge, connecting Lenana and Majengo estates, and road maintenance projects in Ololongoi and various parts of Olposimoru Ward. Completed roads include:
Olpusimoru – Amalo Road (9 km)
Shapatarakwa – Kamurar Road (9 km)
Olechonko – Olpusimoru Road (4 km)
Enkusero Junction – Olpusimoru Centre Road (7 km)
Grading and murraming works are ongoing on the Shapatarakwa – Ololongoi Road, while the Governor has officially launched similar works on the Ololongoi – Engusero Centre Road (6.7 km).
Education infrastructure has also been prioritized, with the commissioning of three new fully equipped ECDE classrooms at Ololongoi Primary School. The classrooms, with a capacity of 120 learners, aim to provide a conducive learning environment for early childhood education.
