The government has made a U-turn on plans to abandon the Sh376 billion road programme started by retired President Uhuru Kenyatta to upgrade the less-used roads in rural Kenya.
New documents tabled in the National Assembly by Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung’u show that allocation to the annuity roads programme has been increased nearly fivefold to Sh14.09 billion in the fiscal year starting July, from Sh3 billion in the present financial year.
