The Ruto administration built nearly 555 more kilometres of roads than planned in the year to June after the government started clearing a backlog of contractor debts, triggering progress in projects which had stalled for years.

Data from the State Department for Roads says the country’s three road agencies completed 761.25 kilometres of roads against a target of 206.35 kilometres, exceeding the goal by 268.91 percent.
