The Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) has expressed concerns that the new Naivasha–Kisumu–Malaba Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) extension could significantly disrupt Kenya's highway-based economy by diverting cargo from roads to rail.

• The SGR extension, costing Ksh 500 billion, is projected to shift the bulk of transit cargo currently moved by road along the Northern Corridor.
• MAK fears this shift could lead to economic decline in towns like Mai Mahiu, Naivasha, Nakuru, Eldoret, and Webuye, which rely on road transport.
• The association questions the rationale behind investing billions in road upgrades, such as the Rironi–Mau Summit dual carriageway, while a parallel railway is being developed, raising concerns about duplication and value for money, with the railway expected to be completed by June 2027.

President William Ruto has announced over $2.9 billion in new investment deals expected to create 63,000 jobs in Kenya. The unveiling took place during the Kenya International Investment Conference in Nairobi.

• Investments will span sectors including agriculture, manufacturing, ICT, and healthcare, with agriculture alone attracting $1 billion.
• President Ruto highlighted ongoing government reforms aimed at improving the ease of doing business and investor confidence, including tax reforms and the digitization of services through the One-Stop Investment Centre.
• President Daniel Chapo of Mozambique also spoke, emphasizing the importance of private sector investment for Africa's development.

Kenya's National Treasury has confirmed a Ksh389 billion Public Private Partnership (PPP) project to upgrade the Nairobi-Mombasa expressway, which will be converted into a toll road.

• The project involves an investment of Ksh389 billion ($3 billion).
• Key figures include Director General of the PPP Directorate Kefa Seda and Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi.
• This expansion of the 461-kilometre highway to two lanes in each direction aims to ease severe congestion and form part of the Trans-African Highway Number 4.
