In a major boost for infrastructure and local development, Hon. Mejjadonk, the M.P for Embakasi Central, has officially launched the upgrade of the Boston–PCEA Macedonia–Mulikaa Road to tarmac , a transformative project aimed at improving mobility, safety and economic activity for residents in the region.
The upgrade, now underway, is a significant win for the people of Matopeni Ward and especially for institutions like Boston Primary School, which sits along the route. For years, the dusty and muddy conditions have been a challenge for learners and staff alike. With this tarmacking, safer and cleaner access is finally becoming a reality.
“This is more than a road,it’s a statement of intent. We are here to connect our communities, support our schools, open up markets, and make daily life better for everyone. The future of Matopeni Ward is being paved literally.” Hon Mejjadonk Benjamin Gathiru
The launch event, held near the project site, was attended by local leaders, residents, school representatives, youth and stakeholders marking a shared moment of progress and pride.
A Boost for Boston Primary and the Education Sector
The road passes directly adjacent to Boston Primary School, and its upgrade is set to bring immediate and long-term benefits to the school community:
- Safer commutes for pupils walking to and from school
- Reduced dust and mud, leading to a healthier learning environment
- Easier access for teachers, parents, and emergency services
- Improved attendance as students and staff face fewer weather-related travel challenges
What the Community Can Expect
- Enhanced road safety and ease of movement
- Greater access to markets and social services
- Creation of local jobs during the construction phase
- Long-term growth in property value and investor interest
Appreciation & Shared Responsibility
Hon. Mejjadonk thanked all relevant stakeholders and the people of Matopeni Ward for their patience and ongoing support.
“Let’s work together to protect this project—development is not just about building, but about maintaining and owning our progress as a community.”
Looking Forward
As work begins in earnest, the people of Matopeni Ward can look ahead with optimism. This road, once a source of struggle, is being transformed into a path of opportunity, dignity and daily ease for all especially for our young learners.
