Pension schemes have lined up Sh2 billion to partly finance the construction of a key road in northern Kenya, making it the first major project under the public-private partnership (PPP) model to be funded through retirement savings.

A consortium of 24 retirement schemes says it is looking to invest in the 143km road project which runs through Wajir and Mandera counties by participating in an upcoming bond to be issued through private placement.
