Kenyan Counties Risk Sh33.5 Billion Loss to Ghost Workers in 2024/25

 At the signing of a Sh32 billion clinker factory deal in Kwale, Ruto called for expanding cement production to fuel projects like airport upgrades, railway extensions, and clearing KSh123 billion in road dues to restart 875 stalled works. 

He declared Kenya will be one big construction site for the next 20 years, creating jobs and driving growth toward first-world status. The personal anecdote drew mixed views, with some praising the development focus and others questioning the long timeline and spending habits.
