Kenya's planned most expensive toll road is back in the news following reports that the new administration has put the $1.5 billion (Sh185 billion) Mau Summit highway on ice.

This has rekindled the debate on the viability of toll roads in Kenya, as the idea of charging motorists to use the 233-kilometre road remains unpopular among those who fear it would drive up the cost of commuting to and from Nairobi to this part of the country.
