Complete all roads under construction

The Kenya Kwanza government promised to complete all roads under construction.

In 2025, the Kenya Kwanza government restarted hundreds of stalled road projects nationwide through the securitisation of the fuel levy, which allowed it to pay contractors’ pending bills. Significant progress includes resuming work on key routes like the Ngong–Suswa Road and advancing PPP projects. The KenHA Directorate also contains a list of the major ongoing highways and their progress so far.
The Kenya Rural Roads Authority called for contractors for a total of 627 proposed projects. A list of completed and uncompleted road projects is available for tracking.
However, challenges persist, with delays and unresolved pending bills continuing to hinder full project completion. Institutional inefficiencies within road agencies like KERA have drawn parliamentary criticism, while procurement bottlenecks and the need for stricter oversight remain key hurdles to delivering on the promise of completing all road works.
