1.2 Billion Shilling Road in Kenya: A Story of Corruption and Neglect

A 1.2 Billion Shilling Road in Kenya Remains Unfinished: A Case of Mismanagement and Lack of Accountability In Igembe South, Meru County, Kenya, a road project funded with 1.2 billion shillings remains largely unfinished. The Maua-Athiru Gaiti-Killili-Meru National Park Road, intended to span 18+ kilometers, shows only 2 kilometers of completed work. Atticon Limited, the contractor, is linked to Senator Mithika Linturi and MP Maryanne Keitany, raising concerns about a conflict of interest. "This road was started more than 12 years ago," says Kebaso Morara, the author of the video documenting the situation. "Despite many promises, it has never been completed. The condition of this road is deplorable. People are unable to be taken to hospital during emergencies, especially during the rainy season." The video shows the dilapidated state of the road, with large rocks and uneven terrain making it impassable. This raises questions about the transparency and accountability of the government and the contractor. The situation highlights the difficulties faced by local residents due to the unfinished project. The video concludes with a plea for good leadership and accountability in government spending. The unfinished road serves as a stark reminder of the need for transparency and responsible use of public funds.
