Annual public investment in construction and upgrade of roads has grown for the first time since President William Ruto took power nearly three years ago, buoyed by cash inflows from funds backed by fuel levy charged on motorists, fresh exchequer numbers show.
The data, published by Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi last Friday, indicates expenditure on roads and related infrastructure, such as bridges jumped by more than half (57.77 percent) in the financial year ended June 2025 to Sh64.02 billion.
