The Motorists Association of Kenya has opposed a move by the United States infrastructure investment company, Everstrong Capital, to toll the Nairobi-Mombasa expressway.

The Association, in a statement on Tuesday morning, challenged the planned tolling of the new highway, terming the move as utterly deceptive and evil.

While protesting the decision, the lobby group expressed concern over the financial burden of the toll fees, particularly for motorists who primarily rely on the Nairobi-Mombasa route for transport purposes.

According to the motorists, handing over a public highway to foreign entities and allowing them to impose user fees on the citizens of a sovereign nation was an 'immoral act'.
