A petition has been filed in Kenya to halt the Nairobi–Nakuru–Mau Summit Highway project due to concerns over its Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model and tolling provisions. Petitioners argue the project, utilizing a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) framework, cedes control to private entities, potentially leading to double taxation and undermining national sovereignty.

• The Motorist Association of Kenya and other individuals filed the petition against entities including the Ministry of Roads and Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA).
• The petitioners claim the concession model allows private operators control over revenue and road access for decades, potentially restricting free alternative routes.
• KeNHA clarifies no contract is finalized, with the project still in negotiation, emphasizing its importance for easing congestion and improving trade along the Northern Corridor.
