Kenya Halts Adani Power Project Amidst Other Infrastructure Developments - January 2026

The Kenyan government has officially terminated the Adani-sponsored Power Transmission Lines project, which was among four major Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects halted in the transport and energy sectors. According to the provided summary, President William Ruto canceled the Adani project due to integrity concerns. In a separate development concerning national infrastructure, the Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) has attributed the rising number of fatal road crashes along the Northern Corridor to road design flaws and inadequate enforcement, rather than driver error. This view contrasts with the long-held position of the NTSA and KeNHA. Meanwhile, the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) has announced plans for a significant twin-tower development in Nairobi's central business district. This project at the junction of Uhuru Highway and Kenyatta Avenue is set to include office spaces, a hotel, and residential apartments.

Motorists group blames design failures for rising crashes on Northern Corridor

Motorists group blames design failures for rising crashes on Northern Corridor

The Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) has attributed the escalating number of fatal road crashes along the Northern Corridor to road design flaws and inadequate enforcement, rather than solely to driver error. They argue that accident concentrations at specific locations point to systemic infrastructure weaknesses, contrasting with the NTSA and KeNHA's long-held view.

The Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) has attributed the escalating number of fatal road crashes along the Northern Corridor to road design flaws and inadequate enforcement, rather than solely to driver error. They argue that accident concentrations at specific locations point to systemic infrastructure weaknesses, contrasting with the NTSA and KeNHA's long-held view.

  • The Northern Corridor accidents show a recurring pattern in hotspots like Karai, Kinungi, and Ngata.

  • MAK questioned the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA)'s claim that up to 85 percent of crashes are due to human error.

  • MAK has urged national and county governments to prioritize sectional road dualling, improved signage and lighting, and truck lay-bys to enhance safety on the critical transport artery linking Mombasa to the hinterland.
