The government is set to carry out nationwide inspections of development projects initiated by the current administration, following reports of abandoned efforts and corruption.
During a media briefing on Thursday, Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura confirmed the inspections would be conducted by officials from the Office of the President.
Mwaura explained that these assessments would focus on verifying whether the projects, as described in official reports, are being implemented properly. He emphasized that the government aims to ensure that the reality on the ground matches what is documented in Nairobi.
“The government has accomplished a great deal, but there’s confusion about its efforts,” Mwaura stated. “My office, in collaboration with the President’s, will be visiting even the most remote areas to verify progress.”
The decision to launch these inspections comes after activist and lawyer Morara Kebaso highlighted various incomplete or abandoned projects through personal investigations. Kebaso has visited 18 counties so far, accusing President Ruto’s administration of stalling projects, failing to initiate others, or allowing corruption to flourish.
Kebaso’s exposés, which often feature videos filmed at project sites, have stirred public concern and brought more attention to issues of transparency. His efforts have earned him significant public support, positioning him as a vocal advocate for accountability.
The government inspections aim to address claims that the official narrative does not align with the on-ground reality. Mwaura assured the public that the inspection process would be thorough, ensuring all discrepancies are addressed.
