Contractors tasked with delivering the national government’s multi-million shillings projects in Kisumu are racing against time to complete them ahead of a strict April deadline issued by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The President wants the revival of the railway line, completion of the port, a marine school, a road project as well as a power plant complete by April.
Yesterday, a committee tasked to oversee the implementation of the projects inspected them and put the contractors to the task to confirm whether they will beat the deadline or not. The projects were birthed after President Uhuru’s ‘handshake’ with ODM leader Raila Odinga.
