Kenya will next week open formal discussions with American giant construction firm, Bechtel Corporation, over the financing model for the proposed Sh300 billion Nairobi-Mombasa expressway.

While the government is keen to have the funds for building of the 473-kilometre road sourced by the US firm which will then recoup its investment and a margin by charging a toll fee, the latter has been pushing Kenya to contract a loan for the project.
