Kenya's National Treasury plans to upgrade the 243-kilometer Mau Summit-Malaba highway into a tolled, four-lane road under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model to improve regional cargo movement.

• The project will involve toll fees for motorists and truckers, funded by the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).
• Key entities involved include the National Treasury, Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), and transaction advisor CPCS.
• This upgrade complements the ongoing construction of the Rironi-Mau Summit road and is expected to significantly boost goods movement to neighboring East African countries.
