KeNHA Seeks Firm to Verify Rironi-Mau Summit Project Costs

The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) and the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) have invited bids for an independent review of construction work and costs on the Rironi-Mau Summit highway project. The review will cover the 81-kilometre Rironi-Gilgil section and the 58-kilometre Rironi-Maai Mahiu-Naivasha road, verifying early works and whether costs match work completed. The Ksh200 billion expansion is being delivered through a public-private partnership; as of September 30, 2026, early works were 34.96% complete on the Rironi-Naivasha section and 10.38% complete between Gilgil and Mau Summit.
