Ruto government identifies projects under the Ministry of Roads that will not receive funding in the next financial year.
As part of its austerity measures, the government has dropped funding for nine projects that had received funds to the tune of millions in the 2023/24 financial year.
This is according to the Estimates of Development Expenditure for the year ending June 30, 2025, released by the National Treasury.
The projects are at different stages of completion and some are expected to utilise this year’s funding while others will receive extra budget from 2025/25 financial year and onwards.
Among the affected road projects is dualling of Eldoret Town after earlier receiving a Ksh17 million funding.
The Eldoret Town Bypass project also did not receive any funding after a Ksh21 million funding in the current financial year.
In the Lower Eastern region, the government has halted funding for Kitui Turn Off- Mwingi- Garissa Road and Kangundo Road – Greater Eastern Bypass Link Road – Phase 1.
