The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has unveiled a comprehensive plan to introduce tolls on six major highways, including the heavily trafficked Thika Superhighway. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to fund road development and maintenance through public-private partnerships (PPPs).

The highways identified for tolling include:

1.            Thika Superhighway

2.            Nairobi Southern Bypass

3.            Nairobi-Nakuru-Mau Summit Highway

4.            Kenol-Sagana-Marua Road

5.            Mombasa Southern Bypass

6.            Dongo Kundu Bypass

KeNHA’s plan aims to generate revenue for the upkeep and expansion of the country’s road network. Tolling is seen as a sustainable way to ensure that the roads remain in good condition without solely relying on government funding. The tolls will be implemented after extensive public participation to ensure that all stakeholders’ views are considered.

The announcement has elicited mixed reactions from the public. Some motorists are concerned about the additional financial burden, especially given the current economic challenges.

On the other hand, some see the tolls as a necessary step to improve road quality and reduce congestionGovernment Assurance

KeNHA has assured the public that the tolling policy will be developed transparently and inclusively. “We appreciate the ongoing discussion around the development of a Road Tolling Policy. This policy will be developed with extensive public participation to ensure that all voices are heard,” stated a KeNHA representative.

The next phase involves finalizing the Road Tolling Policy, which will guide the implementation process.

The Expressway is the only road in Kenya that users pay for.
