President-elect William Ruto's government will inherit pending bills in excess of half a trillion shillings, Transport and Infrastructure Cabinet Secretary James Macharia has said.
Mr Macharia said that President Uhuru Kenyatta's administration could not honour payments due to budgetary constraints. He also cited low revenue collection due to "hard economic times occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic."
The CS was speaking during the unveiling of Phyllis Wakiaga as the new chairperson of the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) at Kenya Re Towers in Nairobi.
