In October 2022, the revised contract cost stood at KSh 7.092 billion and KSh 8.3 billion in 2023. Bunge Tower's total construction cost now stands at KSh 9.26 billion as of March 2024, with no signs of being completed soon. 

Why Bungo Tower construction costs is rising? The status report further highlighted payment disputes between the main contractor, subcontractors, and procuring entity. The difference in views was escalated by the mode of currency in which the payment was supposed to be made. The contractor insisted that 80% of the contract be paid in US dollars and 20% in Kenya shillings. 

The contractor also delayed the execution to subcontractors dealing with the interior, like electrical fittings and water, among other services.
