The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has given two Chinese companies 25 days to modify their project development plan for the crucial Rironi-Mau Summit highway connecting Nairobi to Nakuru. This follows a meeting between the National Treasury and the Public-Private Partnership committee, with construction anticipated to begin after the revised plans are evaluated.

• KeNHA Director General Luka Kimeli stated the companies have until August 25th to submit the revised plan.
• The President is personally committed to the multi-million-shilling project, which is significant to the current administration.
• The 175-kilometre highway is expected to significantly ease traffic, reduce travel time, and boost trade along the Northern Corridor.
