Government Clears Contractor Bills and Advances Thika Road and Rironi-Mau Summit Projects - February 2026

The Kenyan government has finalized the payment of verified road construction pending bills up to December 2025, utilizing the securitization of the Road Maintenance Levy. This action fulfills a pledge by President William Ruto to address long-standing arrears. In infrastructure developments, the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) plans to invest Ksh 30 billion into the Rironi–Mau Summit toll road project, aiming for an annual return of 17% for members' savings. Additionally, the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) issued a seven-day eviction notice to traders along the Thika Superhighway for the construction of new bus bays at Roysambu and Githurai.
