Why you will pay to use major Nairobi, Mombasa highways
Principal Secretary for the State Department of Roads Joseph Mbugua. Tolls were introduced in the late 1980s and removed in the mid-1990s in favour of the road maintenance levy fund (RMLF), where motorists pay Sh25 per litre of petrol and diesel.
Motorists will start paying toll charges on Nairobi bypasses, Thika Road and an expanded Kiambu Road as the State seeks additional billions of shillings to build and maintain roads.
The charges will be introduced first on the four bypass roads in Nairobi and the two major highways linking the city to Central Kenya, before going national. Mombasa’s Dongo-Kundu bypass is also a target of toll charges whose introduction date is yet to be announced.
