Kenya has made a last-minute decision to split the contract for the Nairobi–Nakuru–Mau Summit toll road to avoid scrutiny and lengthy approval by the Chinese government.
In a U-turn, the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has revealed that it is reinstating the runner-up from the original bids and giving it a section of the 236-kilometre road network, while the initial contract winner will handle the remaining portion.
