Gachagua questions Macron visit over cancelled KSh 159bn road project compensation claims

Rigathi Gachagua has dismissed the just-concluded Africa Forward Summit, co-hosted by William Ruto and Emmanuel Macron, questioning the French President’s intentions during his visit to Kenya. Gachagua alleged that Macron’s trip is linked to billions of shillings in compensation payments related to the cancelled Rironi–Mau Summit Road Project. He claimed that French firms were awarded a contract worth over KSh 159 billion in 2020 under the Uhuru Kenyatta administration, but the project was later cancelled by the Ruto administration before works began.
