Why US firm lost Sh468bn Mombasa expressway suit
Mombasa Road at the Athi River crossing on April 25, 2024. Plans are underway to expand the highway into a four-lane expressway to cut travel time and costs between Nairobi and the port city of Mombasa.
An American firm has lost its legal fight to salvage the proposed Sh468 billion Nairobi-Mombasa toll expressway contract after a tribunal upheld the State’s decision to cancel the project over the company’s financial and technical weaknesses.
The legal battle highlighted China–US rivalry after Kenya cited the American firm’s reluctance to work with a Beijing-backed firm as a reason for terminating the mega deal.
