President Uhuru Kenyatta has faulted a Chinese contractor building the new Mombasa-Nairobi railway for failure to offer agreed contracts to Kenyan firms.
The President said that China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) has not allocated contracts equivalent to 40 per cent of the works done on the Sh327 billion standard gauge railway (SGR).
