  • The KSh70B Nairobi Expressway has officially been opened for public use. Transport CS James Macharia on Saturday, May 14, 2022 graced the opening of the road that rises in Westlands and lands in Mlolongo. CS Macharia said the road is one of the finest projects in Africa and will help ease movement across the capital. Macharia also exclusively drove on the Chinese built road as a way of opening it for use.

    Kibaki built twice the width and twice the length of this road at less than half the cost and commissioned it as a no-toll road. I thought you should know.

      Tuambiane ukweli, indeed the cost is very high. But can we also agree that the terrain is not the same? That land acquisition on Thika road cannot be the same as what we have here? We should also agree that we cannot be hating on everything government does. Because no angel will ever do everything we like according to the script in our minds costing exactly what we allotted in our minds. Being positive costs a lot less energy believe me

    It by far lags behind thika road in excellence despite exceeding thika road by far in cost. More painful, it's not for everyone like thika road is....then biggest problem ni hapo kwa private investment, wenye nchi vs wananchi.
