The Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) Directorate has refuted claims that recent traffic chaos on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway was engineered to justify upcoming toll road concessions. Director-General Eng. Kefa Seda stated these suggestions are misleading and undermine infrastructure development.

• The Nairobi–Nakuru–Mau Summit Highway Project is a strategic plan, not reactionary, aiming for a permanent solution with a dual carriageway.
• Eng. Kefa Seda of the PPP Directorate issued the statement through the National Treasury on Monday, September 1.
• The Motorists Association of Kenya recently launched a petition to halt the highway's construction, arguing tolling shifts infrastructure financing burden to citizens.
