UHURU KENYATTA'S KSH 160B MAU SUMMIT HIGHWAY PROJECT STOPED BY WILLIAM RUTO

 

The 233km road which was initiated by retired president Uhuru Kenyatta was set to be built in September 2021 but Ruto is yet to give the green light for its construction.The new Kenya Kwanza administration was cagey over tolling of the road as this would affect residents in President William Ruto's Rift Valley backyard.There were also concerns over lack of alternative routes for motorists who do not want to pay toll fees as is the case with the Nairobi Expressway

The 233-kilometre contract was awarded to a consortium of three French firms in 2020. The group comprises Vinci Highways SAS, Meridian Infrastructure Africa Fund, and Vinci Concessions SAS. The consortium is mandated with overseeing that the road is expanded into a four-lane dual carriageway through a Public-Private Partnership model.

French Minister of State for Development, Francophonie and International Partnerships said Ruto would decide on whether the project would go on.

 “We have to resume talks, obviously, but it would be something important and would be nicer for the new administration to speak with the companies," she said.

It was a procedure based on the premise that God would help the innocent by performing a miracle on their behalf. However later on the method was changed and the litigants were permitted to hire professional fighters (gladiators) to fight on their behalf. These gladiators are the ancestors of the present day lawyers, whose profession of fighting for others ultimately evolved into modern concept of advocates/lawyers representing litigants.   in the words of   Anatole France   a well-known jurist in 1894, "In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread." In his Gulliver’s Travels, Jonathan Swift grumbles
