Quote:he Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has erected billboards on key roads, notifying motorists of the intention to introduce user fees commonly known as tolls – to boost the pool of cash it is currently collecting through fuel levy.
The list of highways, where motorists may soon start paying includes Nairobi-Nakuru, Nairobi-Mombasa, Thika Superhighway and Nairobi’s Southern by-pass.
The new charges, which amount to a new layer of taxation, are curiously being introduced under a public-private partnership (PPP) despite the fact that the roads have been public funded using tax revenues.  http://www.businessdaily...0/-/12miupb/-/index.html

You can't Toll a road with no alternative,build a better Mombasa-Nairobi road then toll it as a better alternative to the congested one, the toll as is now will just be a tax to use the road.

Woooi...... in the meant time some contractor is repairing the Waiyaki way near Barclays bank Westlands, after the rains this morning.I am sure the fresh done layer will last only for 2 months if lucky.Tarmac + water/rains ????????Public - Private partnership so they say. Divers - can you laugh in scuba gear, or will you drown? I was wondering. - James May.

Right on.Toll stations should be introduced for those who want to do say a maximum of 12kph and then the alternative routes should be say 90kph. So if you want to travel fast , pay if not take the alternative and enjoy your time and save.Some people just sit and say we shall do this from tomorrow.

Those who have also traveled keenly will also tell you that, you either pay toll or pay road maintenance levy and if you pay road maintainance levy there is always an alternative to the tolled road. In kenya, what will be the alternative road for Mombasa-nakuru highway? If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Where i cometh from, there are no roads to maintain yet we pay road maintenance levy on fuel used by farm machinery and even the local posho mill!!! Formal education will make you a living.
