Kenya Announces Border Reopening, Road Section Opening, and Suspends PSV Driver - February 2026

The Kenyan government is set to fully reopen the Kenya-Somalia border in April, ending a closure initiated in 2011 due to security concerns from Al-Shabaab. The move aims to revive cross-border trade, with adequate security personnel deployed to ensure safety. In infrastructure, the first phase of the Rironi–Mau Summit Road, specifically the Rironi–Naivasha section, is set to open to motorists in August, with completion expected by June. Separately, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has suspended the license of a PSV driver in Kenya after a video showed him driving a bus on a pedestrian walkway near Thika Road.
