Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has said the government will only construct the multi-billion shillings' road going through Aberdare forest if there is a positive Environmental Social Impact Assessment report.
Murkomen noted that the 97.8km road, which links Murang'a, Nyeri and Nyandarua counties has 52km going through the forest and conservationists had raised concerns that the project will degrade the environment.
