The Government of Kenya has begun discussions with the World Bank to support the development of critical infrastructure projects, including the redevelopment of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and the expansion of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR).
Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir said the consultative session on Tuesday focused on securing financing for large-scale projects, highlighting JKIA’s urgent need for modernization amid budgetary constraints. The government plans to leverage Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to drive these upgrades, following setbacks such as the cancellation of the Adani airport upgrade deal last November.
Chirchir noted that the talks also explored extending the SGR line to Malaba. The Washington-based World Bank delegation, led by Binyam Reja, expressed keen interest in supporting this extension to enhance regional connectivity and trade.
The consultation further covered the Lake Victoria Ring Road, a 180-kilometre highway crossing five counties: Busia, Siaya, Kisumu, Homa Bay, and Migori. Estimated at Ksh70 billion, the road will feature a seven-metre-wide carriageway, two-meter shoulders for non-motorized traffic, and urban sections equipped with footpaths and lined drains. Construction is slated for the next financial year.
“These investments could significantly enhance tourism, trade, and regional integration by facilitating efficient cross-border movement of goods and passengers,” Chirchir said, emphasizing the projects’ role in cementing Kenya as a regional trade hub.
According to the Transport CS, the meeting aimed to explore financing options for Kenya’s transport sector, which he described as a key driver of social and economic growth.
