We are also undertaking one of the most ambitious urban road improvement programmes in Nairobi's history, with 729km of roads under routine maintenance and more roads under rehabilitation across the city.
Together, these projects are systematically addressing the traffic congestion that has hindered the growth of our capital for decades. Our goal is to build infrastructure that delivers a modern, efficient and globally competitive capital city, the gateway to Eastern Africa.
We have embarked on the implementation of an Intelligent Transport System covering more than 210 signalised junctions across Nairobi - in three phases at a cost of KSh45 billion - to deliver coordinated, real time traffic management that eases congestion, improves road safety and reduces travel times.
Additionally, we are building the KSh3 billion Upper Hill-Kenyatta Avenue Viaduct, currently 60 per cent complete, the KSh3.9 billion Talanta Sports City access roads, upgrading State House Road - a KSh 1.6 billion investment - and preparing the dualling of the 23.5km Kiambu Road corridor through a $231 million (KSh30 billion) investment.
The flyover removes one of Nairobi's most persistent traffic bottlenecks, improving safety and restoring the smooth movement of people and goods along one of the city's busiest transport corridors.
It will ease congestion by up to 60 per cent, reducing travel time, lowering transport costs and making the Ngong Road corridor work better for everyone.
The opening of the 820-metre Ngong Road-Naivasha Road Flyover, a KSh3.8 billion investment, is a demonstration of our commitment to decongesting roads and improving mobility in Nairobi County, our capital city.
Assented to the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2026, at State House, Nairobi.
The Act allocates KSh428 billion as equitable share of nationally raised revenue to the 47 county governments. This represents 20.9 per cent of the most recently audited national revenue, exceeding the 15 per cent minimum required under the Constitution.
The Act distributes the equitable share among the 47 counties in accordance with the revenue-sharing formula approved under Article 217 of the Constitution.
The formula provides a stable baseline allocation while ensuring a fair distribution based on equal share, population, poverty level and geographical size.
The enhanced allocation will strengthen devolution by equipping county governments with the resources they need to fulfil their constitutional mandate and deliver quality services in line with their budgets and development priorities.
A nation may build magnificent schools, but if it neglects character, it builds its future on quicksand.
As we invest in education, we must remain equally committed to nurturing integrity, responsibility, and strong values in our young people.
We appeal to parents to remain actively involved in the lives of their children. Know their friends, understand their aspirations and challenges, and celebrate their milestones.
Equally, we must recover the enduring wisdom of African parenting, where every child belonged not only to one home, but to the entire community; every elder was a guardian, and every child was a shared responsibility.
We will improve the school infrastructure by building 30 modern classrooms, well-equipped laboratories, and a multipurpose hall to support both academic excellence and co-curricula development.
