National Infrastructure Fund Bill sparks debate over executive control and funding of projects

The proposed national infrastructure fund bill continued to attract mixed reactions on the floor of the National Assembly with critics questioning the heavy influence of the executive and specifically Treasury Cabinet secretary in its management. Proponents of the bill say this is the surest way for the country to unlock trillions of shillings needed to develop previously neglected areas. Sam Gituku looks into the bill that should it become law will redefine how national projects are identified, funded and implemented.
