Sections of the newly completed Sh4 billion Ngong–Suswa Road in Kenya are already showing cracks and other defects, raising concerns about construction quality and oversight just days after its official opening.

• The 70-kilometer road, intended to be a crucial alternative to the congested Nairobi–Mai Mahiu route, is exhibiting early signs of wear despite its recent completion.
• Key stakeholders include the Ministry of Interior and the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA).
• Visible issues include cracks, potholes, incomplete drainage systems, and a lack of essential safety features like lane markings and guardrails, combined with the hazard of livestock on the road, leading to increased accidents.
