The government has indicated no plans to halt the planned road tolling after public participation, instead promising to keep toll fees affordable.
According to the Ministry of Roads and Transport, the government will ensure the amount Kenyans pay to use the roads remains affordable and is reinvested in road development.
The assurances follow complaints and concerns from Kenyans over the plan to roll out tolling on major highways.
In the Draft Tolling Policy released last month, the government proposes tolling various categories of roads, including newly constructed roads, improved roads, and those deemed of higher quality than untolled alternatives.
