The proposed expansion of the Rironi-Mau Summit highway connecting Nairobi and Nakuru is facing opposition from the Motorists Association of Kenya. The Association has launched an online petition to object to the government's plan to construct and toll the highway through a Public Private Partnership (PPP), citing concerns about unfair financial burden on citizens.

• The online petition was launched on Thursday, August 21, to facilitate objections.
• The Motorists Association of Kenya argues that tolling the highway would amount to double taxation, as drivers already pay the Road Maintenance Levy Fund, which was raised to Ksh18 in 24 months.
• They also opposed the Nairobi-Mombasa expressway through PPP, stating that Ksh5000 in toll fees would be overwhelming.
