The National Treasury has issued an ultimatum to American investors seeking to build the proposed Nairobi–Mombasa Expressway, warning that the project will be abandoned if a revised plan fails to meet the threshold set by the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA).

Everstrong Capital, a US private equity firm, was given a fresh opportunity to actualise the privately initiated project (PIP), which would rank among the largest public-private partnership deals on the continent.
