Road works have been a corridor of corruption in that every Kenyan wants to become a road contractor. It is lucrative and has super profits. It is a very unfortunate situation because cowboy contractors have been constructing substandard roads. The Government is spending a lot of money and after one or two years, the newly constructed roads need repairs because they are dilapidated and impassable."}
