President William Ruto has announced the formation of the Ulinzi Construction Company, a new military-run entity tasked with undertaking infrastructure development in Kenya's challenging and underserved regions, following a 2021 mandate from the National Security Council.

• The company will empower the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) to build roads, bridges, and housing projects, especially in hardship areas like Turkana, West Pokot, and Northern Kenya.
• President Ruto committed to fully equipping the company, stating it would establish military bases in remote and strategic areas.
• Former Chief of Defence Forces General Robert Kibochi noted the initiative would allow for project implementation at a lower cost and within shorter timelines by separating combat-related engineering from large-scale national construction.
