Tosha Construction Limited, a prominent road construction firm, is under scrutiny following revelations that it has been irregularly winning government tenders, raising serious concerns about corruption within key state agencies.
According to multiple credible sources, Tosha has been awarded numerous lucrative tenders, particularly through the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), despite glaring issues with performance and transparency. Investigations now point to a troubling relationship between the company’s owner, nominated Member of Parliament Abdisirat Khalif and Saadia Khalif, the Deputy Director in charge of procurement at KURA. The two are reportedly close relatives, a connection believed to be central to Tosha’s unchecked success in bagging government contracts.
“Tosha has turned KURA into a family affair. President William Ruto must act now. Family ties are now dictating who gets public tenders. This is outright theft from Kenyan taxpayers,” said a senior government source familiar with the matter.
Despite being awarded multi-million-shilling contracts, Tosha Construction has been repeatedly flagged for substandard work across several counties. Locals in some areas have raised alarms about incomplete projects, poorly constructed roads, and blatant misuse of public funds.
The controversy deepened when it emerged that MP Abdi Sirat allegedly financed President Ruto’s recent high-profile tour of the North Eastern region—raising questions about political favors and pay-to-play schemes.
Critics now describe Tosha Construction as the face of institutionalized corruption in Kenya’s infrastructure sector. “This is the most corrupt company operating under the protection of political elites. It’s not just about roads—it’s about betrayal of public trust,” one whistleblower claimed.
As public outcry grows, calls are mounting for an urgent audit of all contracts awarded to Tosha and a thorough probe into the procurement processes at KURA.
