Kajiado Residents Call for Completion of Stalled Projects Before New Developments
Kajiado, Kenya – Residents of Kajiado County are urging the county government to prioritize the completion of stalled development projects before initiating new initiatives. In a video report released on April 24, 2025, locals expressed frustration over unfinished roads, public facilities, and water projects, which they say have stalled progress and disrupted daily life in several towns and villages.
Community members highlighted that several projects launched in previous years remain incomplete, creating challenges such as poor road access, limited healthcare facilities, and inadequate water supply. It’s disappointing to see new projects being launched when old ones are still incomplete. The county should focus on delivering what has already been promised to residents, one resident said. Local leaders echoed the call, emphasizing the need for transparency in project management and accountability for county officials overseeing development funds.
The residents’ concerns come amid ongoing debates over resource allocation and financial planning in Kajiado County. Experts note that completing stalled projects not only ensures efficient use of public funds but also builds public trust and stimulates economic activity. County officials have yet to respond publicly, but stakeholders hope the government will act swiftly to address the backlog before embarking on new initiatives that could stretch the county’s budget further.
