Ruto Chases 2 Contractors From Road Project
Wednesday, President William Ruto announced the dismissal of two contractors operating on two roads in Western Kenya for failing to meet project requirements.
Ruto clarified at a rally during his developmental tour of the region that the first contractor allocated to the Cianda Road project had been fired for delays and lack of project advancement.
In addition, the Head of State disclosed that the second contractor in charge of the Lurambi-Nambacha road project was also relieved of their duties for failing to meet their obligations and frustrating government officials tasked with project supervision.

“Mimi na huyu Wangwe tulianzisha barabara ya kutoka huko Cianda. Lakini contractor mwingine amekwama hapo katikati. Huyo contractor nitamfanyia mambo.”
“Tena kuna barabara ingine ilikuja ikakwama ya kutoka huko chini Lurambi kupitia Navakholo mpaka Nambacha…Nilikuwa huko Sang’alo juzi. Hiyo barabara pia, huyo contactor alikuwa anatusumbua nishamfanyia mambo. Nimemfukuza.”
President William Ruto’s sentiments can be loosely translated to mean;
“Together with Wangwe (Emmanuel Wangwe – Navakholo Member of Parliament) we started this road from Cianda but the contractor has failed to meet project expectations and I will address the situation accordingly,”
“Then there is another road stretching from Lurambi through Navakholo to Nambacha. I was in Sang’alo two days ago. That road has also stalled. The contractor has proved to be problematic and I have chased him away,”
The President confirmed that he will declare a new bidding process for one of the roads within one week.
“This will be done so I can bring someone capable of performing that task.” The road will be completed in one year, he assured the residents.
Ruto executed a similar stunt in Machakos on June 15, when he evicted a contractor from a Ksh500 million project.
Additionally, my government is implementing a Ksh500 million water initiative in Mwala. The contractor has caused us annoyance, so we have pursued him. We are seeking a new contractor so that we can obtain sufficient water in Kenya,” he stated.
