Kenya has chosen to build a brand new road between Mombasa and Nairobi instead of expanding the existing highway in what will leave consumers spoilt for choice.

The Sunday Standard has established that instead of turning the current road into an expressway, the government decided to construct a completely new road to run side by side with the existing one.

We can categorically say that no economic analysis was done. The local partners of Betchel will benefit from land inflation while American elephant gain foothold in the now Chinese dominated market.
