World Bank Says Corruption Cost Kenya $900 Million on Railway

The World Bank has revealed that corruption, fraud, and graft have caused Kenya to overspend by $900 million on a railway project built by China. This issue highlights the broader challenges of implementing large-scale infrastructure projects under Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative.
