President William Ruto’s administration has increased allocation for road projects in the upcoming financial year by more than three times to Sh239.5 billion, offering hope of payment to contractors owed billions in pending bills.
In a mini-budget for the current financial year ending June, the Kenya Kwanza administration slashed the roads budget by Sh47.29 billion to Sh77.94 billion as part of the austerity measures aimed at reducing the country’s budget deficit.
