The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) is seeking consultants for a technical feasibility study to upgrade the Mau Summit-Eldoret-Malaba highway through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.

• The study, funded by the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), will assess the viability of the approximately 245-kilometre road section, a crucial corridor for regional trade.
• KeNHA, the organization leading the initiative.
• The assignment is expected to last 12 months, with a planned start date of September 2026.

Motorists in Kenya will now receive traffic fines for minor offences via SMS, email, or physical notices, enabling them to pay without immediate court appearances under a new digital enforcement system.

• The modernized enforcement system took effect on June 1, 2026, aiming to improve road safety and reduce court pressure.
• The initiative is led by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) in collaboration with other government agencies.
• Motorists are advised to keep their contact information with NTSA updated to ensure timely receipt of notifications and have the right to access evidence supporting alleged offences.

The Green Belt Movement (GBM) has flagged potential plans to reduce Uhuru Park and Central Park in Nairobi for the expansion of Uhuru Highway, raising alarms about the legality and environmental impact of these proposed works.

• The GBM is concerned that groundwork, such as the placement of survey beacons, may already be underway.
• A key organization involved is the Green Belt Movement (GBM), a prominent environmental lobby group.
• The GBM is demanding public disclosure from institutions including the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) and the Nairobi City County Government regarding any approvals or assessments.
