With our County Executive, we joined our colleague Michael Njuguna and his family in Ithe Kahuno village, Tetu constituency, Nyeri, as they bid farewell to their beloved mother, Mama Helen Wanjiru Munene. Our sincere condolences to the family, and may Mama rest in eternal peace. 🕊️ #RIP

The KSh181 billion Chinese contracts compare favourably with the previous French arrangement's KSh249 billion adjusted figure. Infrastructure spending must demonstrate value for money. Rutos Better Deal. #FactsOnRironiMauSummit.

The highway comparison demonstrates why contract details matter. Road coverage, additional lanes, viaduct construction, investment costs and risk allocation all shape the value of infrastructure. Rutos Better Deal. #FactsOnRironiMauSummit.

Motorists deserve toll charges that consider affordability. The stated KSh8 per kilometre under the Chinese contracts compares with KSh12 under the previous French proposal. Rutos Better Deal. #FactsOnRironiMauSummit.

@AnneWaiguru @WilliamsRuto @UDAKenya Kirinyaga's development journey is part of a wider conversation about unity, equal opportunities and shared prosperity. Every community deserves to be heard and included as Kenya moves forward. #UsawaNiSawa #Tutam #KaziIongee.

@AnneWaiguru @WilliamsRuto @UDAKenya conversation with Ndia leaders reflects the importance of listening to communities and working together. Unity, fairness and development should go hand in hand across Kirinyaga and the entire Mt Kenya region. #WiraWarie #KaziIongee.

Both arrangements cover 233 kilometres, but the Chinese contracts add specific upgrades, including six-lane expansion and a four-kilometre viaduct for Nakuru.

The French contract comparison lists no revenue-sharing mechanism, while the Chinese contracts include one to address excessive investor returns and windfalls.

Unlike simple strengthening of the existing Mai Mahiu–Naivasha road, the Chinese plan adds climbing lanes and wider sections for traffic flow.

@WilliamsMkenya The six-lane Naivasha–Nakuru section covers 70 kilometres, adding capacity on a key stretch within the wider Rironi–Nakuru–Mau Summit highway corridor.

@WilliamsMkenya The Rironi–Mai Mahiu upgrade spans 36 kilometres, converting the existing road into a four-lane dual carriageway under the Chinese contracts plan.

@KingGeeJoo The Nakuru viaduct is a notable addition: four kilometres of elevated roadway through town, absent from the earlier French contract scope.

@KingGeeJoo The French contract’s KSh160 billion 2020 cost was adjusted to KSh249 billion by June 2026, according to the supplied comparison figures.

@recreatedd16 Against that adjusted figure, the Chinese contracts’ KSh181 billion investment cost is lower by KSh68 billion, based on the stated estimates.

@recreatedd16 Government exposure under the French arrangement included annual payments of KSh20 billion over 15 years, subject to inflation and currency movements.

@JasonStadium_ The Chinese contracts instead assign the risk of lower-than-forecast traffic to private investors, limiting taxpayers’ exposure to traffic shortfalls and losses.
