The government has awarded the contract for the construction of Nairobi-Rironi-Mau Summit Highway to National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC).
The planned construction of road, expected to ease congestion and enhance trade and travel between Kenya and its neighbours, comes amid public concerns over the use of pension funds for infrastructure development.
The project involves the development of a 175-kilometre stretch of road that links Nairobi to Mau Summit, a key segment of the Northern Corridor that connects Kenya to Uganda and other East African countries.
