State risks Sh180bn fee for cancelling Rironi–Mau Summit road

Kenya could face a Sh180.73 billion liability if the government terminates the 30-year contract for the Rironi–Mau Summit highway project. The potential payment accounts for nearly 44 percent of the Sh413.81 billion estimated cost of terminating existing and advanced public-private partnership projects. The figures appear in the Treasury’s latest budget documents for the financial year beginning in July 2027.
