Revamping the Road Transmission and Distribution network

The Kenya Kwanza government promised to revamp the road transmission and distribution network.

• The administration is pursuing new funding models, including Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and a National Tolling Policy, while also disbursing funds to counties for localized road works following a court order.
• Nevertheless, the construction sector is experiencing a slowdown due to reduced credit and investor confidence, and specific flagship projects, such as the Nairobi-Mombasa Expressway, have faced setbacks in their approval process. Other ongoing challenges include project delays caused by bureaucratic inefficiencies, delayed payments to contractors leading to stalled projects, and concerns about potential duplication of efforts between national and county road agencies.
