A planned high-level meeting with Jubilee government’s major contractors next week is expected to expose the rot underlying the unofficial 10 per cent kickback policy that has stalled major infrastructural projects for the administration. The meeting between the contractors and top government officials running President Uhuru Kenyatta’s anti-corruption purge is also expected to re-direct the war to the top echelons of the government.

A Thursday meeting between the team and major donors set the pace with complaints being raised that their funded projects were running into headwinds of graft and stalling in the process. The Sunday Standard has also established from within top government officials there is a proposal to set up a central complaints unit, where contractors and Kenyans can lodge their complaints regarding the various projects.
