Turf wars and tendering fights have derailed construction of a railway line linking Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to Nairobi’s city centre, leaving a deal inked by French President Emanuel Macron and his Kenyan counterpart Uhuru Kenyatta on the verge of collapse.
The Treasury has raised the red flag over the secret procurement of a consortium of French firms to build the new railway line whose costs have not been made public, and has declined to commit funds following a request from the Ministry of Transport.
