The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) is on the spot for spending more than Sh6.4 billion on six projects whose contract sums were varied or delayed, attracting hefty interests.

In his latest report released last week, Auditor General Edward Ouko demonstrated how KeNHA failed to observe procurement laws, leading to massive payments.
