Boost for youth, women and disabled as Kenya Urban Roads Authority awards multi-million tenders

NAIROBI: Youth, women and persons with disability stand to win big as the Government dishes out hundreds of millions worth of contracts to be executed exclusively by disadvantaged persons. The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (Kura) has invited bids for the periodic and routine maintenance of 30 kilometres of roads across the country to be taken up by disadvantaged persons.

This is half of the 61 kilometres of roadwork tenders earmarked for construction in several parts of the country, including Voi, Kericho, Siaya and Kitale, among other areas in the 2014/2015 financial year.
