List Of Kenya’s Stalled Projects

According to a report released in June 2021, there are hundreds of development projects started during the Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta regimes that are currently stalled. These stalled are said to be worth Ksh.9 trillion.

The National Assembly Budget Committee revealed that the projects include irrigation projects, dams, office blocks, and roads.

Most of these projects have majorly stalled due to delayed payment to contractors.

Most of these projects were initiated during President Kibaki’s era and have become white elephants over 15 years since they were initiated.

Two decades of debt-funded infrastructure growth policy has led to a rush by the government to initiate several projects beyond the country’s capability.

In the last 20 years, Kenya has borrowed over Ksh2 trillion with the majority of the loans tapped under the Jubilee government, promising ambitious projects.

Reports show that Kenya has 4,000 ongoing projects, and most of them have either been delayed, incomplete, or stalled.

Most of these projected became white elephants during the transition from central government to a devolved system of governance.

The projects have also stalled because of the imposition of budget ceilings by the Treasury keen on taming expenditure.

Towards the 2017 General Elections, in particular, the country witnessed an increase in project launches by both national and county governments as they tried to woe votes.

Many of these projects were budget for, and the shift by the government after the election in development spending focus to the Big Four Agenda has left most of them stalled.

Below are some of the stalled projects in Kenya:

  • Arrow And Kimwarer Dam Project – Sh63 billion
  • Nairobi-Mombasa Highway – the US $3 billion
  • Mzima II water project – Sh35 billion
  • Bachuma Livestock Export Processing Zone – Sh380 million
  • Ikanga airstrip – Sh300 million
  • Kenya’s High Commissioner’s residence in Islamabad – Ksh 443.1 million
  • Voi Gemstone Value Addition Centre – Sh60 million
  • Sports centre at Uwanja wa Mbuzi, Kongowea – Sh75million
  • Ken-Ren Chemical and Fertiliser – Ksh 6.3 billion
  • Hazina Towers by NSSF – Ksh 6.9 billion
  • The Lodwar Law Courts – Ksh 814.9 million
  • Kenya Industrial Training Institute (KITI) in Nakuru – Ksh 360 million
