NAIROBI: Local engineers and contractors will not be awarded contracts in the new road-building plan unless they ensure value for money, President Uhuru Kenyatta has said.

He said roads constructed under the Government's annuity programme must be affordable and cost-effective, adding that only contractors who adhere to this will benefit.
