Kikuyu, October 28, 2025 – Kikuyu Member of Parliament Kimani Ichungwa officially launched construction of the Lusigetti-Ndacha-Mbomboini-SGR road, with a site handover ceremony held on Monday, October 27th at Nachu Chief's Office in Mbomboini.
The 14-kilometer road will connect Thogoto–Mutarakwa Road to the Ngong–Suswa Road in Kajiado County, creating a vital shortcut for traffic headed towards Narok and Bomet counties. The project, managed by Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), promises to reduce travel time and transform regional connectivity.
What This Road Changes for Residents
This infrastructure project means more than just easier travel. Better road access historically drives real benefits:
Faster Commutes: Journey times to Nairobi and surrounding areas will drop significantly. What currently takes an hour could take 30-40 minutes once the tarmac is complete.
Property Value Growth: Areas near new tarmac roads typically see land values increase by 30-50% within the first two years of completion. The Thika Superhighway created similar opportunities along its corridor.
Business Opportunities: Better roads attract shops, schools, hospitals, and other services. Local entrepreneurs benefit from easier access to suppliers and customers.
Agricultural Benefits: Farmers can transport produce to markets faster, reducing spoilage and transportation costs.
Community Participation in Development
The site handover ceremony on October 27th included public participation for upcoming projects, demonstrating the government's commitment to involving local residents in development planning. This approach ensures community needs shape how infrastructure develops.
MP Kimani Ichungwa, serving as Kikuyu NA Majority Leader, has prioritized infrastructure projects that directly impact residents' daily lives. The partnership with KeRRA brings professional road construction standards to rural areas that have historically lacked proper infrastructure.
Smart Investment Timing
Infrastructure development creates a predictable pattern for property values. Prices typically rise in three phases:
Before Construction (Now): Early investors secure land at current prices before news of the road spreads widely.
During Construction: Values begin climbing as the road takes physical shape and accessibility improves.
After Completion: Prices stabilize at higher levels as the area becomes fully accessible and developed.
Properties within 1-2 kilometers of new tarmac roads benefit most directly. Areas like The Haven Estate-Nachu, located less than 800m from the new road route, represent strategic positioning. With few plots remaining in this exclusive 16-plot gated community at an all inclusive cost of KSh 999,000, such opportunities may represent the last chances to own titled land under KSh 1 million in this rapidly developing corridor.
What Makes This Road Project Different
The Lusigetti-Ndacha-Mbomboini-SGR road stands out for several reasons:
Strategic Routing: Connects major highways, creating genuine time savings for daily commuters
Professional Management: KeRRA brings proven expertise in rural road construction
Community Involvement: Public participation ensures local needs guide development
Economic Impact: Opens previously remote areas to investment and services
The road features prominently in Kiambu County's Annual Development Plan for 2025/2026, indicating strong political and financial backing for completion.
What to Look For in Land Investment
If you're considering buying land near this development, focus on:
Ready Titles: Insist on individual title deeds that can be transferred immediately. Avoid "title processing" promises.
Verified Ownership: Use platforms like ArdhiSasa to confirm the seller legally owns the land.
Utility Access: Check whether electricity and water are available or planned for the area.
Proximity to Tarmac: Properties within 1-2km of the new road will see the strongest value growth.
Price Point: Current opportunities under KSh 1 million in this corridor may not last once construction progresses.
Looking Ahead
As construction progresses, the Lusigetti-Ndacha-Mbomboini-SGR road will transform Nachu and Ndeiya from overlooked areas to strategic growth zones. For communities that have waited years for proper infrastructure, this road represents more than convenience—it's about unlocking potential that has existed but lacked the connectivity to flourish.
The October 27th site handover marked the official start of a new era for the region. Residents and investors who position themselves now, before completion, stand to benefit most from the transformation ahead.
