For residents of Kigumo in Murang’a, the mere mention of Kangari-Kaharati road conjures one word: gangland. For about 10 years, the 41km road stretch had been controlled by criminals, scaring investors, and causing property value dip.

Ironically, this is the road to the Kamung’ang’a Gachocho village, home to Transport CS James Macharia.
