The government has revealed that two Chinese firms are battling for the multibillion-shilling tender to upgrade the Mau Summit toll road, which was initially awarded to a French consortium before the project was cancelled for being costly.
A consortium of China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) and the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) is one of the two parties that have expressed interest to construct the Nairobi-Nakuru-Mau Summit and Rironi-Maai Mahiu-Naivasha Road Project, which has submitted its privately-initiated proposal (PiP) to the Kenya National Highways Authority (Kenha), the contracting authority.
