Mbadi Wants Government to Prioritize Nairobi-Nakuru Highway
Jan 11, 2025
National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has called for the expansion of the Nairobi -Nakuru highway into a dual carriageway road to improve the flow of traffic to western Kenya. Mbadi noted that the expansion of the single carriageway road into a dual carriageway will help avoid traffic jams witnessed by motorists on the highway. He stated that some motorists in Western region are forced into using alternative routes on their way to Nairobi including the Bungoma-Kakamega- Kisumu route through Narok in efforts to avoid traffic congestion on the busy Nairobi Nakuru highway. “We borrowed money to do roads up to the rural areas, some people take minutes to reach their villages but an important road as the Nairobi Nakuru highway no one saw the need to make it a dual carriageway so that we can reach our homes in good time” he said. Mbadi highlighted the need to convert the Nairobi-Nakuru highway, urging that it will bring more economic value to the people of Western region which help stabilize the Nation’s economy. He also urged for the expansion of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) line from the Naivasha Terminal all the way to the Malaba border.
