More than Sh1 billion spent on upgrading parts of city roads for use under the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system to clear traffic snarl-ups could have been flushed down the drain after the government abandoned the project two years ago.

By December last year, BRT works valued at Sh3 billion had stalled, even as contractors demanded Sh1.9 billion payments from the government, the Auditor-General reveals in her latest report for the 2022/23 fiscal year on the collapsed project.
