Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) said the expansion of the stretch will also include erection of safety features like road markings and installation of signage. At least 150 people died on the stretch in December, according to official statistics from the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA). “Bids for the construction of dual carriageway were received on January 18 and will be reviewed over the next two weeks. KeNHA had earlier said that it planned to have the road done under public-private partnership. This will ensure that the entire road capacity and safety is improved,” the statement further says.
