Rugged ride along the highway from Morpus to Nadapal |

The over 330 kilometre highway from Morpus in West Pokot to Nadapal at the border of Kenya and South Sudan is an uneven surface full of gaping potholes, and broken concrete drifts that makes travel a tortuous affair. Recent flash floods have led to insecurity and deaths. Three weeks ago the Kainuk bridge that connects Turkana to the rest of the county collapsed and it took more than two days to temporarily fix it. Locals accuse contractors of doing shoddy work. NTV's Nimrod Taabu examines the state of affairs along this stretch of road in this special feature Rugged Ride.

A new bridge is under construction as the Kenha guy said. I was able to travel via a motorcycle from Lodwar to Nairobi in 9 hours in July, 2019. This is a good documentary.

[@tuitoekrobert8784]

Great

[@WakiliTimam]

A lot has changed since then. Now there is good tarmac up to Lokichar and various tarmac sections from Lodwar to Lokichogio.

[@juniorfredmbatia8285]

I like the way Kenyans help each other. The part where the ailing old man was helped to climb the ladder. God bless you all. 🙏🙏🙏

Nowadays The road is smooth all the way this road should have been featured in dangerous roads in dstv

[@cjjusticemtenga4612]

Good job, Nimrod. This goes to your videographer as well.

[@jairuscheruiyot1957]

It's true that Kenya ni central na rift valley alone that's why the government is launching New roads everyday in those two regions...lodwar people you have oil means that your county is very rich so the best thing to do is to seek for succession and develop your region before this corrupt regime steal your oil

[@thecargotsold]

Jairus Cheruiyot this is Rift Valley too, kwani ulisomea wapi?

[@jairuscheruiyot1957]

Let me tell you that nobody in the government can recognize Turkana as part of Kenya leave alone story of rift valley...go there and see for yourself,rift valley ni penye kuna kalenjins alone according to those in the government.

[@pietrojenkins6901]

Balderdash utter nonsense , i guess the new road to Isiolo - Marsabit to Mandera is in central too huh? The nonsense you guys spout smells worse than human shit.

[@georgemwendwa1520]

Makueni kwetu kuna barabara nzuri atleast

[@rachelkuria7411]

[@milesseniormwaniki2242]

Kenyans we choose for this , I know if we stand up together for the sake of common mwananchi the deserved development will be brought... but all we do is to sing the song of the politicians..

[@georgemwendwa1520]

So huku pia fh manyanga!!!

[@pietrojenkins6901]

The 15bn wasted on repeat election cuz of Odinga's greed for power could've been used to make this highway superb.

[@jairuscheruiyot1957]

Pietro Jenkins you can talk about the money that was used for the repeat of the elections but you don't see the looting which is going on in the government since 2013...it's only a matter of months before the jubilee government will surprise us with the new scandals...hii ni government ya ku launch ma barabara only in rift valley and central Kenya alone

[@tafari988]

[@mshefaa]

Tano fresh, are you guys completing the journey?

[@AfricanRoyal254]

Shame on the Governor of Turkana and its county government.

[@carolcarol9675]

Ignorance will kill you.That road is for the national government.Demagogue

[@AfricanRoyal254]

Obviously, your insults show how ignorant you are. The inability to have a cordial dialogue is pertinent to your inability to convey your point effectively. I have logged your IP address and will monitor any abusive insults online. by the way...the definition of a demagogue is a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument.

[@carolcarol9675]

Nonsense!Nincompoop!Direct those words to a kindergarten pupil or a drop out in Gatundu constituency.Kumanina!

[@carolcarol9675]

What is your education level.Nincompoop!

[@richardgaya3965]

We plan and build super highways in Nairobi.... and yet out of our leaders sheer stupidity we leave our county's vital and strategic communication arteries in gaping need of repair. What sort of people are we really?

[@ellachimbiru1950]

Have you noticed how articulate the locals are in Kiswahili and English? ✅✅.... much much better than the educated KNHA boss?🤣🤣🤣

[@maxwellseme9863]

It has now been tarmaked mpaka Nadapal border post by the Uhuru government..check on Chams media- Alex Chamwada

[@stevewest1993]

Give me this job you see what I can do

[@stevewest1993]

This is shameful. The government of Kenya is me and you. If all of us could make noise about this trust me it will be done. Remember power is in the hands of the people. One thing we forget is that we are all Kenyans and if anything like this happens it should concern all of us.

[@janetmwangi3868]

Everything in Kenya always revolves around tribalism. Tanzania is much bigger, and has more tribes than Kenya, but you never hear anyone talking about tribes. They are United, that's why they're developing very fast. Kenya has a disease called tribalism.

[@pietrojenkins6901]

Your comment smells like the open sewers of kibera where Odinga reigned for 20yrs yet no roads were done or trash services.

[@e.crabtree4313]

Kibera is in Nairobi where your shoga governor reigns with a brain the size of a flies balls.
