The privilege to serve our country in the road subsector is one we have fully embraced as staff of the Kenya Rural Roads Authority. In so doing we are guided by our mandate namely to Develop, Construct, and Maintain the rural road network in the country.
The Management and staff of the Authority have continued to demonstrate this commitment through our collective dedication to ensuring the implementation and realization of the Authority's mandate.
Our belief system is anchored in our Core Values (Transparency, Professionalism, Integrity, Collaboration and Sustainability), wherein the Authority ascribes to high standards of professionalism in carrying out our duties and this has translated in sustaining high levels of achievement of our evaluated targets that are often surpassed.
We have captured our ambitions in the current Strategic Plan (2024-2027) which has been developed in keeping with all Policy and Legislative targets for the Authority as envisaged by the National Government via sessional economic guidelines and policy directives. Importantly, the strategic plan has incorporated the views and aspirations of all essential stakeholders regarding rural roads. Among the notable stakeholders are the citizenry of the Republic of Kenya, other Agencies and Arms of Government, Development Partners, road contractors, and service providers.
Our operations and systems are geared towards the attainment of National aspirations as espoused in the economic blueprint of the Medium-Term Plan (IV) namely the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) which will be accomplished through the five (5) core pillars Agricultural Transformation and Inclusive Growth; transforming the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) Economy; Housing and Settlement; Healthcare and Digital Superhighway and Creative Economy.
Towards the achievement of our mandate, the Authority conducts its operations in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations. In addition, the operations of the Authority are guided by ethical practices that embrace strong Corporate Governance principles for effective and efficient service delivery.
The Authority monitors stakeholders` opinion regularly through stakeholder engagements and incorporates valid suggestions in our activities to ensure that our planning, implementation and monitoring of road programs is alive to emergent issues affecting the roads sub-sector.
I would like to thank the Board of Directors, Management and Staff of Kenya Rural Roads Authority for their support and dedication, as we connect devolved Kenya.
