The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced a plan to introduce toll stations across major highways in the country.
In a statement on Tuesday, August 13, KeNHA said there is an ongoing discussion on the development of a Road Tolling Policy.
According to the authority, the policy will be developed with extensive public participation to ensure all ideas from members of the public are heard.
KeNHA also said it is committed to transparency and inclusivity throughout the process and will continue to engage with the public at every stage.
“The Kenya National Highways Authority appreciates the ongoing discussion around the development of a Road Tolling Policy.
“The Authority assures the public that this Policy will be developed with extensive public participation to ensure that all voices are heard. Once the Policy is finalized, it will guide which roads will be tolled,” read the statement in part.
Some of the highways that are being considered for tolling include the Nairobi Southern Bypass, Nairobi-Nakuru-Mau Summit Highway, Thika Superhighway, Kenol-Sagana-Marua Road, Mombasa Southern Bypass and Dongo Kundu Bypass.

In January, former Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen said the government was also planning to charge road users for the use of commonly used roads.
Murkomen mentioned that motorists who don’t wish to pay toll fees will be offered alternative roads by the state.
“The good news is that there are so many alternative routes along this corridor that those who don’t wish to pay toll fees, we’ll give them those alternative roads,” said the former Transport CS.
The Nairobi Expressway is currently the only toll road in the country.
