One of President Uhuru Kenyatta's most visible legacy projects is the 23km Western and Eastern bypass around Meru town.
Not only has the Sh5 billion project significantly decongested traffic in Meru town, it has also greatly transformed once sleepy villages, with new residential and commercial buildings sprouting in the area.
Residents who were occupying the area on which the bypass was built also had a windfall, after receiving Sh740 million in compensation to give way to the project.
