Kenya has allocated Sh177 billion to road contractors to restart work on over 6,000 kilometers of stalled road projects, according to Kindiki. The government aims to revive infrastructure development that had been delayed due to financial and logistical challenges. The funding is expected to help contractors resume operations and complete ongoing projects.

The announcement comes as part of broader efforts to improve transportation networks across the country. Officials have emphasized the importance of these roads for economic growth and regional connectivity. The funds will be distributed to various contractors involved in the projects.

Kindiki reported that the payment will enable the resumption of work on critical road segments. This move is seen as a step toward restoring Kenya’s infrastructure development momentum. The government has not yet provided details on the timeline for project completion. (eastleighvoice.co.ke)
