The Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) incurred Sh3 billion in penalties and interests following a directive by the National Treasury that halted payment to a Lebanese firm that built the Mombasa-Nairobi pipeline.

As a result of the Treasury’s directive, Zakhem International Construction (Kenya) Ltd slapped the KPC with a Sh3,027,732,573 bill for operational delays in the construction of the 450-kilometre pipeline.
