President William Ruto has announced an extension of the Mau Summit-Malaba expressway, with tenders and construction set to begin before the end of the year.

• The new expressway will feature two corridors: one from Mau Summit through Eldoret and Kakamega to Malaba, and another from Mau Summit through Kericho to Kisumu.
• This project, spearheaded by the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), aims to improve connectivity and stimulate economic growth in Western Kenya.
• The government anticipates this initiative will create at least 10,000 jobs and unlock opportunities in trade, tourism, and investment, complementing existing infrastructure upgrades.
