National Treasury and Economic Planning Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has refuted claims by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua that President William Ruto’s administration illegally inflated the cost of the Rironi-Mau Summit Highway from Ksh150 billion to Ksh200 billion.
Gachagua had also accused the government of illegally allocating Ksh30 billion from the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) to the project.
Mbadi, however, dismissed Gachagua’s assertions and defended the revised project cost. He argued that the former Deputy President’s comparison was misleading as it ignored significant changes to the highway’s design and the commercial risks associated with the previous contract.
