Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has said the national government is engaging with landowners at Nithi Bridge over compensation.

This came after a section of residents who are required to give up their land for the construction of new bridge said they were not ready to move because they have not been compensated.

The residents said they need the money to purchase land, and time to build their new homes before the contractor starts the project.
