The Motorists Association of Kenya has launched a petition to stop the planned expansion of the Rironi-Mau Summit highway that connects Nairobi and Nakuru cities.
The Association on Thursday, August 21, developed an online website designed to facilitate objections to the government's plan to construct and toll the highway.
According to the motorists, the decision by President William Ruto's administration to build the highway through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) and later toll it was unfair.
They argued that the move to introduce tolling along the route shifts the burden of infrastructure financing to ordinary citizens, a mandate that they claim belongs to the government.
