More Chinese firms get mega construction deals

Chinese contractors have firmed up their control of mega construction tenders even as local contractors decry lack of support from the national government.

The China Railway 21st Bureau Group will build a 20-kilometre dual carriageway between Athi River and the Machakos turnoff at a cost of Sh5.3 billion while Jiangxi Zhongmei Engineering Construction has clinched a tender to rehabilitate the Kakamega-Webuye section of the Kisumu-Kitale road.
