The Kenyan government has initiated stakeholder consultations for the expansion of the Nairobi-Nakuru-Mau Summit Highway, a critical infrastructure project aimed at dualing the 175-kilometre stretch. Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir announced the engagement on Monday, August 18, emphasizing public participation and transparency for this ambitious undertaking.

• The project is expected to take 24 months to complete, generating formal and informal jobs.
• Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir stated that transparency will be maintained throughout the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) process, similar to the Nairobi Expressway model.
• The original Ksh190 billion contract with a French consortium was cancelled due to financially unsustainable terms, with two Chinese companies now competing for the project.
