The family of Nairobi businesswoman and contractor Beatrice Njeri attributes her recent death to severe depression, allegedly caused by significant financial distress stemming from unpaid dues by the Nairobi County Government for a road construction project.

• Outstanding amount: Sh36 million owed by Nairobi County for a 2.7-kilometer road project in Ruai's Kanisani area.
• Key people: James Kang’ore and Peter Wambugu Githua (brothers of the deceased), Ruth Wahome (fellow contractor).
• Consequences: Njeri died on Friday morning at Aga Khan Hospital, leaving behind a Sh3.2 million hospital bill and other debts, with project equipment and vehicles reportedly repossessed.
