The Ministry of Transport has announced plans to toll specific roads across the country as part of a broader strategy to enhance the development and maintenance of Key roads.

A draft Road Tolling Policy shared on Wednesday, February 12, seeks to impose charges on motorists using some of the newly constructed roads and other major highways.

According to Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir, the decision to toll major roads across the country was due to the funding gap caused by budgetary and financial constraints.

In the draft Roads Tolling Policy, the CS listed 12 categories of vehicles that will be subjected to the charges when using the toll roads, among them matatus and minibuses.
