NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 1 – Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has claimed that Chinese financiers refused to fund the proposed Narok–Kisumu–Malaba railway after President William Ruto’s administration allegedly demanded a Sh50 billion commission to facilitate the project.
Gachagua accused the President’s team of frustrating major infrastructure projects through demands for kickbacks, claiming the Chinese financiers backed away after being asked to pay the alleged commission.
“The proposed railway project from Narok to Kisumu to Malaba has no valid contract because Chinese funders refused to finance it after Ruto’s team demanded a KES 50 billion commission,” the Former Deputy President said.
