A contractor building a paediatric emergency and burns management centre at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has abandoned the site over a Sh184.3 million debt, leaving the Sh2.9 billion facility undone more than five years after the contractual deadline.
Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu said the outstanding amount includes Sh103 million in certified but unpaid construction claims, Sh69.4 million in accrued interest, and Sh11.9 million owed to the project consultant.
