'You can’t charge us for using Thika Superhighway!' Sifuna slams KeNHA’s road tolling proposal

Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) platform on Tuesday, Sifuna wondered how the Authority would come up with policies to put tolls on roads built by Kenyans.

He vowed to push for the summoning of KeNHA officials to the Senate for them to elucidate on the new policies.

"I don’t know how @KeNHA Kenya justifies the proposal to start tolling roads built by taxpayer money years ago," stated Sifuna.

The lawmaker went on to advise the Authorities to consider building new roads which they could then impose tolls for users.

"Build new toll roads mchukue pesa but you can’t start charging us for using Thika road bwana! Wacha tumalize na Kawira niwaite pale Senate mjieleze," he added.

KeNHA on Tuesday announced that Kenyans may start paying for toll fees if the Road Tolling Policy which is currently on the discussion level is approved.

Some of the roads proposed for consideration include the Thika Superhighway, Nairobi Southern Bypass, Nairobi-Nakuru-Mau Summit Highway, Kenol-Sagana-Marua Road, Mombasa Southern Bypass and the newly opened Dongo Kundu Bypass.
