The Kenya Roads Board intends to raise 512 billion shillings for the construction of 220,000 kilometers of roads in the country over the next five years.
In order to reduce accidents and improve pedestrian safety, the board is also looking to build pedestrian walkways in all major cities.
During the official unveiling of the Kenya Roads Board’s strategic plan for the years 2023 to 2027, Rashid Mohammed, the road agency’s director general, stated that under the strategic plan, at least 84 percent of all roads in the country will be in good condition.
Kipchumba Murkomen, Cabinet Secretary for Transport and Infrastructure, stated that his ministry will develop smart road charges for electric vehicles as the government continues its push for electric mobility.
