The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) is threatening arrests for illegally parked trucks on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway this weekend to manage traffic during the Safari Rally.

• KeNHA has warned truck drivers against parking in undesignated locations, with violations leading to immediate arrest.
• The agency has provided four alternative routes to ease anticipated congestion for motorists heading to Nakuru and Lanet for the event, which runs from March 12 to March 15, 2026.
• Key areas highlighted include Mau Summit, Thika-Magumu, Dundori, and Ngong Suswa.

The Kenyan government has unveiled a funding plan for the expansion of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), with ground-breaking set for June.

• The project will utilize a 70-30 debt-equity ratio, with the National Infrastructure Fund (NIF) attracting private investors.
• Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir stated the government aims to invest 18 per cent of the total project cost to encourage private sector participation.
• The estimated cost of the expansion was previously cited as Sh206 billion by a withdrawn proposal.

The Kenyan government has clarified that civil servants' salaries will not be subject to deductions to finance the newly established National Infrastructure Fund (NIF). This fund aims to raise significant capital for infrastructure development without burdening public employees.

• The NIF is designed to mobilize over Ksh5 trillion over the next 10 years.
• Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi addressed concerns about salary deductions.
• The fund will be financed through the divestiture of government shares in state-owned enterprises, such as the Kenya Pipeline Company.

Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has issued a traffic advisory for motorists heading to the Safari Rally, anticipating heavy congestion on major highways. The event is scheduled from March 12th to March 15th, 2026.

• Motorists are advised to use alternative routes to ease expected traffic jams leading to Naivasha and surrounding areas.
• The advisory comes from KeNHA Director General Luka Kimeli.
• Truck drivers are warned against parking at undesignated locations on the highway, with violations leading to arrest.

Kenya's government has clarified the operational model of the newly established National Infrastructure Fund (NIF), specifying which projects will and will not be financed.

• The NIF will not fund stadiums, public parks, or other social infrastructure as they are classified as pure public goods and cannot generate predictable revenue for investors.
• The fund aims to mobilize Ksh 5 trillion to finance infrastructure projects with reliable income streams, such as airports and toll highways.
• President William Ruto assented to the NIF bill, and the expansion of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) is slated to be the first project financed.
• Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi confirmed that the fund will not involve deductions from public servants' salaries.
