Kenya has yet again been forced to postpone the commissioning of the $470 million Mombasa-Nairobi pipeline after the contractor failed to complete critical works in time.
Although Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) had said the project would be commissioned in December 2017, the contractor, Zakhem International Construction, said it had been forced to import new materials due to incompatibility.
