Lazy road contractors in Tharaka Nithi risk losing their tenders, DP William Ruto has said.
Speaking in Chuka town on Saturday, the DP said he will revoke the tenders of contractors who are too slow in completing their work.
"There is a contractor who was given Chuka-Kaareni road to do and after three years he has only done three kilometers," Ruto said.
He said road contractors in the county were slowing Jubilee initiated road projects.
"We are also putting the contractor of Weru-Iriga road on notice. We are going to revoke his contract," Ruto warned.

He said that contractors of the two roads should find other businesses to do.
"They should not be building roads they should make mandazi's and roast maize."
Ruto spoke after attending a fund raiser in Chuka Boys High school.
Earlier, he had presided over functions in Maara and Tharaka constituencies.
He was accompanied by Youths and Gender CS Cecily Kariuki, Tharaka Nithi Senator Kithure Kindiki and Tigania West MP Josephat Gichunge.
Tharaka Nithi governor Muthomi Njuki,
Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria and Maara MP Kareke Mbiuki were also present.
Kuria, who is the vice chairman of the parliamentary committee on roads, said they will look at all road contracts that are not being carried out well and take disciplinary action against shoddy contractors.
