Kenya's Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has indicated that the government is considering upgrading and introducing tolls on the approximately 160km Nairobi-Namanga Highway as a potential project to be funded by the National Infrastructure Fund (NIF).

The Nairobi-Namanga Highway could become a dual carriageway with toll stations, funded by proceeds from the divestiture of state firms.
Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi made these remarks, defending the use of divestiture funds for commercially viable infrastructure.
The proposed project aims to generate returns and support the country's economic development, though specific timelines and costs are yet to be revealed.
