The High Court in Nakuru has temporarily halted a KSh 2.1 billion roads agreement between the Nakuru County Government and the National Youth Service (NYS) following a procurement dispute. The deal, intended for road construction and upgrades under the Imarisha Barabara Programme, was suspended after petitioners argued it violated public procurement laws by lacking an adequate procurement process and public participation.

• The agreement, signed on November 7, 2025, was for KSh 2.1 billion and involved the construction and upgrading of various roads across Nakuru County.
• Justice Julias Nangeya issued a conservatory order suspending the project until January 19, 2026, for further mention.
• The Imarisha Barabara Programme, led by Governor Susan Kihika, focuses on repairing, grading, graveling, and maintaining rural and feeder roads, specifically mentioning areas like Rongai, Naivasha, and Molo.
