Road contractors have been paid a fresh Sh20 billion as the government races to clear pending bills, which stalled projects last year amid cash-flow challenges for the service firms.

Official correspondence seen by the Business Daily shows that the money was cleared for payment in March and will cover all certificates of completion (CoC) that were issued between January and March 2026.
