I don't seem to remember hearing about the stalling of this construction in the news. Remind me what happened... Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

They have restarted albeit at tortoise pace. Now I can understand why they do roads in sections, so that they can hold the government at ransom. Like some of the bridges are deliberately incomplete. All the same this is one road that should have been dualised up to Machakos turn-off.
