Cabinet secretary nominee for Roads, Transport and Public works, Kipchumba Murkomen has said his first order of business if approved, will be to publicize the SGR contract.
Speaking on Wednesday when he appeared before the National Assembly Committee on appointments, Murkomen said no one knows the details of the multi-billion project.
"If approved my first business will be to look for the SGR contract and make it public to Kenyans with the help of the National Assembly," he said.
The Elgeyo Marakwet Senator told the MPs that he had spoken to the who and who and none of them confessed to having seen the SGR contract.
In May 2022, the High Court in Mombasa directed the government to disclose the details of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) contract.
This followed a successful petition lodged by Khelif Khalifa and Wanjiru Gikonyo.
The outgoing Transport PS, his Treasury counterpart, Attorney General Kihara Kariuki, Solomon Kitungu and Julius Muia were listed as respondents in the case.
The petition was made on June 21 last year, with the petitioners saying that the failure of the government to publicise the information was a violation of their right to access information, which is enshrined in the Constitution.
It was their argument that the $4.5 billion project was shrouded in secrecy.
