Kenya has delayed payments of more than Sh3.6 billion owed to a Chinese contractor that built the Nairobi’s Southern bypass and landowners displaced by the project, exposing the State to penalties and interests.

Auditor General Nancy Gathungu says Kenya has fallen back in remitting Sh1.2 billion to China Road and Bridges Corporation (CRBC) for setting up the 28.6-kilometre road, which links Nairobi and Kiambu counties via Lang’ata and Kikuyu suburbs.
