  • The 17.5 billion shillings represents 10% of the 180 billion shillings needed for the construction of the highway under the public private partnership model.
    It will be the second modern and major highway to be constructed under such a deal after the Nairobi Expressway that was constructed by the China Road and Bridge Corporation.
    and as Enock Sikolia reports, the upgrade will be done by a consortium led by a French infrastructure company, Vinci.

    Very good to hear this. With all the roads being built around the country, I was wondering when they were going to get to this Nai - Nakuru road, and even on to western Kenya. I'm especially interested in the technical aspects of how they're going to handle the widening Rift Valley fault cracks. Please keep us updated on this aspect, and others of course. Keep the good work up, brother.

      Hey ndugu. You first need to understand the type of model being used and those involved.
      It's a public private partnership and 10 financing institutions will be involved. The project will be undertaken by a consortium called the Right Valley connect led by French firm Vinci. Now the 17.5 Billion is just 10% of the 180 billion needed. The remaining 160 billion will be funded by other financiers including the French firm and that's is the deal Uhuru signed.

    Imagine paying for such a road. so sad. there is no political goodwill. if the government can finance 100B for fuel subsidy in 5 months why not raise 175 billon for the project

      Why does it have to be a 4 lane highway? If Kenya doesn't have the money let it be a dual carriageway without tolls. I hope the next government will say no to tolling major highways.

      @@ichooseviolence2532 A saloon car will have to pay 7,000 to get to Nakuru. Traveling to anywhere west of Limuru will be crazy expensive, produce from Nyandarua, Rift Valley and Western itafika Nairobi ikiwa kwa bei ya juu. In these tough economic times do we really need to subject ourselves to such torture? The road can be dualled from Malaba to Mombasa, a superhighway can be built later when the country is economically stable.
