The President said the proposed highway forms part of a broader rollout of 2,800 kilometres of new roads across the country. Speaking in Nairobi on Wednesday during the International Conference on Nuclear Energy, Ruto said the projects are expected to cost between Sh1.3 trillion and Sh1.9 trillion. “We will be advertising another highway from Mombasa to Nairobi, as well as another 2,800 km of highways. Ruto highlighted ongoing efforts to extend the Nairobi–Nakuru highway to Malaba, ultimately connecting Kenya to Uganda and strengthening regional integration. “These initiatives are positioning Kenya as a premium investment destination, offering stability, predictability, and openness, anchored on strong macroeconomic and microeconomic fundamentals,” Ruto said.
