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.

  The national lottery would be created by a 27-person task committee under the direction of steel tycoon Narendra Raval.

The United States of America (US), the United Kingdom (UK), India, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Spain are notable nations with national lotteries.
