By LILLIAN MUTAVIMore by this AuthorNairobi residents on Monday took the county government to task, questioning stalled projects despite budgetary allocations. According to the report, 1,300km of roads have been repaired, six bridges built, 2,000km of drains maintained and 25,000 new street lights installed. Mr Karanja said the contractors had failed to complete most of the projects because the finance department refused to pay them. He also blamed residents for not participating in identifying and planning of projects in their areas, challenging them to own those projects. This was disputed by a resident, Lillian Awuor of Mabatini in Mathare, saying that over 80 per cent of street lights are not working in the city.
