Shadowy firms controlling billions in Ruto's flagship projects

A network of shadowy firms, backed by powerful political figures, is quietly managing billions of shillings from President William Ruto’s flagship projects, raising alarm over transparency and public accountability.

These projects, designed to streamline government revenue collections, taxes, and levies, are being controlled by private entities instead of state institutions. The arrangement has placed sensitive public data in private hands and made it increasingly difficult for the Auditor-General to track movement of public funds, leading to billions of shillings in revenue turning out unaccounted for.
