The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has issued a seven-day eviction notice to all roadside traders along sections of the Thika Superhighway. This directive, announced on Monday, February 9, 2026, precedes the construction of new bus bays at Roysambu and Githurai to improve traffic management and safety.

• Seven-day notice for traders to vacate road reserves at Roysambu and Githurai sections of Thika Superhighway.
• KeNHA Director General Eng. Luka Kimeli stated the new bus bays will reduce congestion and collisions from unregulated stops.
• The initiative aligns with KeNHA's broader strategy to modernise transport infrastructure and streamline public transport in the Nairobi Metropolitan Area.

The Kenyan government has finalized the payment of verified road construction pending bills up to December 2025. This action follows a pledge by President William Ruto to address the long-standing arrears that have hindered the construction sector, utilizing the securitization of the Road Maintenance Levy.

• Payments were made possible by securitizing the Road Maintenance Levy, allowing upfront access to funds.
• Daniel Wamahiu, a local road contractor, confirmed his firm had received outstanding payments.
• The settlement aims to restore confidence in government-funded infrastructure projects and prevent project stalls due to cash flow issues.
