Draft Road Tolling Policy

HIGHLIGHTS

In February 2025, the following were the major developments in the PPPs, Infrastructure and Transport sector in Kenya:
•The Ministry of Roads and Transport has introduced the Draft Road Tolling Policy 2025 aimed at mitigating the infrastructure financing deficit for the roads sector. Road tolling will help the government to close the roads infrastructure financing gap but also increase transport costs for consumers.
•Per the recently announced Budget Policy Statement 2025, the government is looking to fast-track the implementation of the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) and the Bus Rapid Transit System in the Nairobi region which will increase transport efficiencies.
•The Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) is on the verge of signing a PPP deal with Africa 50 and India’s PowerGrid for the development of two transmission lines. This comes less than three months from the collapse of the KETRACO-Adani PPP deal. PPPs thus still remain a viable option to mitigate the infrastructure gap in the electricity transmission subsector.
