The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) has defended its investment in the Rironi–Nakuru–Mau Summit highway project, asserting that the deal safeguards contributors' savings and aligns with regulatory requirements. They clarify common misunderstandings, particularly online, regarding their involvement in the large-scale infrastructure development.

• NSSF's exposure to the Sh170 billion project is limited to 40 percent of the equity portion, estimated at Sh20–25 billion, not the entire cost.
• General Manager for Finance and Investments Ronald Nyamosi stated that such infrastructure investments are designed for stable, long-term returns, similar to government bonds.
• The project is a public-private partnership (PPP) between NSSF and China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC), with 75 percent debt and 25 percent equity.
• The Mau Summit–Rironi highway is expected to be completed by June 1, 2027, and is one of Kenya's busiest transport corridors.

A Kenyan parliamentary committee has approved the sale of a 15% government stake in Safaricom PLC to raise Sh204.3 billion for critical infrastructure development. The sale, conducted through a negotiated transaction at Sh34 per share, aims to ease pressure on public finances, with only Sh29.8 billion available for development in the 2025/26 financial year.

• The sale involves six million shares to Vodacom at Sh34 per share, above the market average of approximately Sh29.50 as of January 30, 2026.
• The National Assembly’s Finance and National Planning Committee, chaired by Molo MP Kuria Kimani, supported the urgent divestiture of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) due to Kenya’s Sh12 trillion public debt.
• The raised funds will finance infrastructure projects, and the transaction ensures no acquisition-related job losses for at least three years and preserves Kenya’s digital heritage.
