• Principal Secretary for Interior and National Administration Raymond Omollo outlined the progress on key transport corridors.

MOJA Expressway has clarified that the Westlands Exit on the Nairobi Expressway remains fully open and operational, despite traffic snarl-ups on Waiyaki Way. This comes amid confusion following an earlier advisory for maintenance works.

• The Westlands Exit is unaffected by maintenance works taking place past the toll station.
