Motorists will start paying toll fees on major roads if a policy by the Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) is approved.
The authority is currently mulling over the Road Tolling Policy, assuring the Kenyans that the Policy will be developed with extensive public participation to ensure that all voices are heard.
According to KeNHA, some critical roads will be presented for consideration if the policy is approved.
The roads include; the Nairobi Southern Bypass, Nairobi-Nakuru-Mau Summit Highway, Thika Superhighway, and Kenol-Sagana-Marua Road.
Other roads are the Mombasa Southern Bypass, Dongo Kundu Bypass, among others.
“The Kenya National Highways Authority appreciates the ongoing discussion around the development of a Road Tolling Policy… KeNHA remains committed to transparency and inclusivity throughout this process and will continue to engage with the public at every stage,” KeNHA says.
The 27-kilometre Nairobi Expressway — developed under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) — is the only tolled road in Kenya.
Motorists part with between KSh120 and KSh360 to use the road that connects Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and Westlands, Nairobi.
