Former Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has criticized President William Ruto's administration for prioritizing infrastructure projects over job creation, particularly for young people. His remarks followed Ruto's Jamhuri Day announcements of major road developments.

• Moses Kuria stated that while expressways are beneficial, serious attention is needed for "meaningful job creation driven by the private sector" to accommodate the "1.1 million" expected job seekers from KJSEA graduates in three years.
• President Ruto announced plans to construct a 60-kilometre expressway from Nairobi City to Thika Town, with construction anticipated to begin in 2026, alongside upgrades to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) highway and ongoing projects like the Nairobi-Nakuru-Mau Summit Road (A8).
• Kuria, who resigned as President Ruto's economic advisor months earlier, has become a government critic, despite some opposition leaders suggesting he still maintains ties.
