Bidders are encouraged to download the tender documents from the websites listed above to minimize physical visits to KeNHA offices.
All interested bidders are required to continually check the Kenya National Highways Authority website or the Public Procurement Information Portal for any tender addenda or clarifications that may arise before the submission date.
The advertisement by KeNHA to rehabilitate the road leading to Kalonzo’s home comes days after President William Ruto complained that the road is dusty and neglected, despite Kalonzo’s long service in previous governments under Presidents Daniel Moi and Mwai Kibaki.
Kalonzo Denies Neglecting Rehabilitation of Road Leading to His Home
Speaking at a public function, President Ruto questioned how the Wiper Leader, who is eyeing the presidency in 2027, can transform Kenya if he hasn’t developed the road leading to his own home.
However, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka issued a direct rebuttal to President Ruto’s claims, stating that he had not failed to build a road to his home.
Kalonzo corrected the President’s timeline, noting that he has been in leadership for 40 years, not 50, framing this period as “40 years of serious experience” rather than neglect.

Kalonzo defended his development record by highlighting that he launched the construction of the Kibwezi–Mutomo–Kitui–Mwingi–Tseikuru–Maua Road while serving as Vice President. He pointed out that this strategic road connects the Port of Mombasa to Ethiopia and was commissioned to the Chinese contractor Sinohydro.
Kalonzo further argued that the road project he initiated in 2011 was “deliberately sabotaged” by elements within the subsequent Jubilee administration, which included then-Deputy President Ruto, who claimed the project was not economically viable.
