Omollo says 70km Ngong–Suswa Highway to cut travel time to Narok, Bomet and Kisii

In an update shared on Monday, Omollo said the approximately 70-kilometre tarmac road is now fully operational and provides a more direct link from Ngong Town to Suswa, reducing travel time for motorists headed to Narok, Bomet and Kisii counties and other parts of western Kenya.

Omollo said the highway is also unlocking economic opportunities along the corridor, noting that farmers and livestock traders in Kajiado County now have faster and more reliable access to markets in Nairobi, helping them move produce and livestock more efficiently while reducing transport costs.

He added that improved accessibility has contributed to rising land values and attracted new investments, including petrol stations, service centres and hospitality facilities, which he said are creating jobs and boosting local commerce.

At the national level, Omollo said the road will help decongest traffic along the Nairobi–Mai Mahiu escarpment corridor, especially during festive seasons or when the route is disrupted by accidents, landslides or floods.

He said the State Department for Internal Security and National Administration is coordinating road safety awareness efforts and working with security agencies to strengthen administrative oversight along the route.
