The government owes road contractors and landowners Sh145 billion in pending bills for certified works, adding to the working capital uncertainty for companies and timely delivery of ongoing projects around the country.

Transport Cabinet secretary Kipchumba Murkomen told Parliament on Wednesday that out of these pending bills, local contractors are owed Sh50 billion while foreign firms have not been paid Sh60 billion.
