That's a waste of money. That could have built 19,000 km of road at kes.20m per km.

Did they compare this white elephant with other alternatives?

That kind money could build 7 light rails as those in Ethiopia at 50 billion Kes each.

I think this is by far the dumbest idea ever. It might qualify for guiness records.

Tenderpreneures are going to mint real money out of it...

This is messed up world bank project that kenya should have abandoned. 380B is indeed enough to tarmac so many roads.

The figure is kes.38b according to businessdailyafrica.

But still it looks like a Sodom and Gomorrah investment. There should be a another cheaper means of reducing jams on that route.

380billion is enough to build a dual carriage MSA-KSM and a dual carriage that circles Every town between.

The government is finally doing something about the inflated prices of land that speculators demand driving up cost of projects http://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/news/Kenya-to-cap-prices-of-land-bought-for-public-projects-/2558-3368382-item-2-kw6957z/index.html .
