The Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) has rejected President William Ruto's proposal to build a second expressway to complement the Thika Superhighway, arguing it is neither urgent nor a priority. They believe the existing superhighway is effective and handles high traffic volumes smoothly.

• The Thika Superhighway handles an estimated 500,000 vehicles in one direction and nearly one million vehicles daily in both directions on busy days.
• The MAK suggests the government focus on enhancements like constructing a viaduct at Pangani and fast-tracking Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and Light Rail Transit.
• President Ruto announced plans for the new expressway during the 62nd Jamhuri Day celebrations on Friday, December 12, stating it would run from near Museum Hill to Thika town.
