The government has cut the budget for infrastructure projects by 15.7 percent in a move that will affect thousands of contractors and suppliers involved in the construction and rehabilitation of roads, railways, ports, and related services.
In the 2024/25 budget presented by National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung’u to Parliament on Thursday, allocation to construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of roads was cut to Sh193.2 billion compared to Sh244.9 billion in the current fiscal year—a Sh51.7billion chop.
