You submit the bid, get the work, and start. However, as the project continues, or after completion, you are informed that you need to bear the costs that you were told not to worry about. This was the predicament faced by Japanese contractors and employees who were involved in tax-exempt projects, including the Mombasa Special Economic Zone Development Project, Olkaria V Power Development Project, and Mombasa Port Development Project, among others.
