The Parliamentary Budget Office questioned why the projects are being allocated resources in the 2020-21 budget, yet they have been finalised. The PBO also questioned the Sh300 million allocated for the Nairobi-Thika highway improvement project and Sh917 million for Kitale-Morpus highway. The experts further cited Sh65 million allocated for rehabilitation of Sultan Hamud-Machakos turnoff, Sh99 million for Njoro turnoff-Timboroa road, and Sh150 million for Waiyaki-RedHill link road. The team of economists also wants MPs to probe Sh100 million allocated for roads in Eastlands, Nairobi, yet the projects are marked as complete. Some Sh90 million allocated for Imaroro-Isara road project is also in doubt and so is Sh53 million allocated to select roads in Murang’a.
