Contractors and suppliers of the defunct Nairobi Metropolitan Service (NMS) will wait longer to receive Sh16 billion after State House said it has no money to clear the pending bills.
State House said out of the Sh16 billion, Sh4.2 billion is owed to garbage collectors while the rest is distributed among firms and suppliers that undertook former President Uhuru Kenyatta's flagship projects such as the renovation of Uhuru Park and Central Park, hospitals, roads and construction of small claims courts.
