Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah is demanding urgent action from the Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) to address the perilous state of the Kisumu-Busia highway, citing frequent accidents and deteriorating road conditions.

• The senator highlighted that large sections of the 352-kilometre highway are riddled with potholes, poor markings, and inadequate signage, contributing to a high number of preventable accidents.
• Senator Okiya Omtatah specifically called for the immediate repair of damaged sections, a public roadmap for upgrading and expansion, and the dualling of identified blackspots.
• This plea comes as President William Ruto previously announced construction plans for over 500 kilometres of highway, including this corridor, with initial funding discussions dating back to 2016 with a budget of approximately KSh 41.6 billion, which later increased significantly.

Members of Parliament have ordered the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) to expedite the Ksh 1.4 billion rehabilitation project at Wilson Airport due to escalating air safety concerns and operational inefficiencies.

• The rehabilitation project is currently at 38% completion, falling behind the expected 40%.
• Key players include the National Assembly's Committee on Transport and Infrastructure, led by Chairperson George Kariuki, and the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA).
• Recent aviation incidents and crash landings at the airport have heightened scrutiny on safety standards, with the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) admitting to lapses.

Kilimani residents are opposing a proposed KSh1.6 billion expansion of State House Road into a dual carriageway. They cite environmental concerns and doubt the project's effectiveness in reducing traffic congestion.

• The project aims to expand State House Road between the University Way roundabout and Gate D.
• Key stakeholders include the Kilimani Community Foundation (KCF) and the Green Belt Movement, alongside the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA).
• Dozens of mature trees, some over 60 years old, are marked for removal, raising concerns about air quality and urban heat.
