New details have emerged about seven Chinese companies that have benefited the most from mega-contracts under President Uhuru Kenyatta regime. According to Business Daily, January 5 Edition, just seven companies from the Asian nation controlled major projects valued at over Ksh1 trillion. Collectively, the two companies have gotten tenders valued at Ksh777 billion since the Head of State stepped into power in 2013. This development comes even as Kenyan construction companies struggle to land mega projects and are left fighting for smaller projects. Transport CS, James Macharia, in a recent interview, also explained that the country had a knack for hiring Chinese companies due to their first speed in project delivery.
