What do they use to build these bridges? How does anyone justify using 150 million shilling to build a footbridge considering no expense on land? These guys are out for finishing the country with uhuru..

They usually include footbridges and sidewalks on tender, however they are never built

That's why they have to float new tender for work knowingly omitted.

For 1 footbridge these guys are spending an amount that can build 3 secondary school size of mbagathi. ......This is insane, country on fire sale, may the last person out of Kenya switch the lights off.

Footbridge and highways mean tolls. An avenue to generate pesa.
