The government has ignored an advisory from the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) to cut toll charges on the Nairobi Expressway following a drop in inflation and strengthening of the shilling against the dollar.

The highways authority, which regulates the expressway operations, reckons that the strengthening of the shilling and lower inflation should trigger a drop in the toll charges that were reviewed upwards on January 1, 2024.
