Monitoring Social Returns on Public Roads Investments through Value for Money Auditing

Over the years, there has been increasing public investment in transport infrastructure in Kenya both through direct budgetary allocations and private sector partnerships. For instance, in 2018, US$ 2.1 billion (representing almost 10 per cent of the entire 2018/19 annual budget) was allocated to transport infrastructure where over 50 per cent of it was availed for road projects. This was a 100 per cent increase from the previous year.
