“I Have Evidence of Everything” Wanjigi Makes Bold Claims About Kenyatta Family

Businessman Jimmy Wanjigi has reignited debate over the Nairobi Expressway after making serious claims about its ownership and the money allegedly used to finance its construction.

Wanjigi claimed that the multibillion-shilling road belonged to the family of former President Uhuru Kenyatta.

He further alleged that funds looted from the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) project were used to build the expressway, raising fresh questions about the country’s major infrastructure investments.

Wanjigi’s remarks have brought renewed attention to the financial arrangements behind some of Kenya’s biggest development projects.

The businessman suggested that Kenyans deserve to know how public resources were managed and who ultimately benefited from the projects.

His latest comments have also added to the ongoing political debate surrounding the former president’s family’s business interests.

The issue has previously attracted attention from government officials, with Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale making claims about the Kenyatta family’s interests in the Nairobi Expressway.

Duale alleged that the family held shares in the project, adding another dimension to the discussion about its ownership.

His remarks were reported by The Standard, further drawing public attention to the matter.

However, records from the government’s Public-Private Partnerships Directorate identify Moja Expressway Company Limited as the private partner operating the road under a 30-year agreement.

The project was developed in partnership with China Road and Bridge Corporation through a design, finance, build, operate and transfer arrangement. Under the agreement, the road is eventually expected to return to government control.

Wanjigi’s latest allegations are likely to fuel further debate about the financing of the Nairobi Expressway and the management of public resources.

However, his claims about the use of SGR funds have not been independently established.

The businessman has placed the spotlight on questions that require clear answers, with Kenyans likely to demand transparency over how major infrastructure projects are financed and managed.
