President William Ruto Confirms Nairobi-Mau Summit Road Dualling Will Extend to Malaba

Nakuru woke up to big infrastructure news today as President William Ruto announced that the dualling of the Nairobi-Mau Summit Road will not stop at the Rift Valley but will continue all the way to Malaba.

The confirmation has sparked excitement among commuters, transporters, and traders who rely on this major corridor linking Nairobi to the western border.

During the announcement, Ruto highlighted the strategic importance of the road in enhancing trade and easing traffic congestion along the busy route.

Full details of the President’s statement can be viewed here, where he underscores the government’s commitment to completing this key national project.

The extension of the dualling project is expected to transform transport logistics across Western Kenya, creating faster, safer, and more efficient travel for thousands of daily commuters. 

The initiative also comes as part of President Ruto’s broader infrastructure agenda, which has seen multiple roads, bridges, and bypasses upgraded to boost economic activity.

Local leaders, including former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and CS Treasury John Mbadi, have lauded the move, noting that improved road infrastructure will stimulate trade, reduce travel times, and attract investment to counties along the corridor.

Traders in Bungoma, Busia, and Kakamega have particularly welcomed the announcement, saying that goods from Nairobi and neighboring regions will reach markets faster and cheaper.

Analysts say the dualling of this corridor is more than just a construction project; it is a political statement. 

By linking Nairobi to Malaba seamlessly, President Ruto is not only fulfilling campaign promises but also strengthening economic integration and national cohesion. 

The move is likely to resonate with voters ahead of the next general elections, especially in key western counties.

As the project progresses, close monitoring will be essential to ensure timely completion and quality standards. 

For many Kenyans, this is a glimpse of how infrastructure can directly impact livelihoods, trade, and regional connectivity.

The Nairobi-Malaba corridor is now set to become a symbol of progress, linking the capital to the border with efficiency and speed. Kindly share, like, comment and follow us for more updates.
