Kenyan MPs have asked how a 10km wire fence built along the country's border with Somalia cost $35 million.
What was the original plan?
When the plan was first announced in 2014, the government said it would build a 708km wall made up of a series of concrete barriers, fences, ditches, and observation posts overlooked by CCTV stations.
What has actually been built?
Four years later, there is a chain-link and barbed wire fence that is just 10km long - a far cry from the mega-wall that was initially promised.
And how much has it cost?
Altogether it cost 3.4 billion Kenyan shillings - that is, $35 million, or £26 million. At 10km long, that works out to around $3 million per kilometre.
To put it in perspective, the BBC's Ferdinand Omondi in Nairobi notes that this is more than double the amount of money the Kenyan government has put aside for its strategic food reserves this year.
It is also about a million dollars more than it is spending on universal healthcare, and three times the amount it has set aside for affordable housing.
