SC/Classmate @ckanjama , the statutory disclosure published pursuant to Sections 59 and 69 of the Public Private Partnerships Act should be read together with the executed Project Agreement, since each instrument fulfils a distinct statutory function within the PPP framework. The statutory notice communicates the execution of the transaction and its material commercial terms, whereas the Project Agreement, together with its Output Specifications and technical schedules, prescribes the legally enforceable obligations governing the concession, including the engineering scope, corridor capacity, operational performance, service levels, lifecycle maintenance obligations and asset handback requirements that define the investment throughout the concession period.
The road corridor was split into two sections and will developed/maintained by two separate entities i.e: CRBC-NSSF consortium on the first section (Rironi - Gilgil) and SHADONG HI-SPEED on the second section (Gilgil - Mau Summit).
The executed Project Agreement contractually obligates the CRBC–NSSF Consortium to develop, finance, operate and maintain approximately 139 kilometres of strategic road infrastructure comprising 81 kilometres of the A8 Road and 58 kilometres of the A8 South Road. Those contractual obligations encompass the expansion of the Rironi–Naivasha Road into a continuous four lane dual carriageway, the expansion of the Naivasha–Gilgil Road into a continuous six lane dual carriageway, together with the expansion of the Rironi–Maai Mahiu Road into a continuous four lane dual carriageway incorporating dedicated climbing lanes between Km 8+800 and Km 18+800, each forming an integral component of the Project Agreement and collectively delivering the approved corridor capacity prescribed under the concession. The above scope is far better than what was in the previous contract that was terminated.
The reference to Gilgil in the executed Project Agreement reflects the approved scope of the present PPP transaction for the first section, which constitutes one transaction within the wider corridor investment. The structuring of strategic infrastructure into discrete PPP transactions aligns project readiness, investment viability, procurement sequencing, prudent fiscal management, optimal risk allocation and private capital mobilization within the statutory framework established under the Public Private Partnerships Act, enabling each transaction to progress upon completion of the prescribed project development requirements and statutory approvals, preserving the continuity of the overall corridor investment and securing the orderly delivery of nationally significant transport infrastructure.
Today, I witnessed the signing of the contract for the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) Modernization Project, a major National Infrastructure Investment. The contract was signed on behalf of the Government by the Principal Secretary for Aviation and Aerospace Development, Ms. Teresia Mbaika, and Mr. Yu Xiaodong, General Manager of China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC).
The JKIA Modernization Project is a strategic undertaking aimed at expanding airport capacity, enhancing safety, improving passenger and cargo services, and strengthening Kenya’s position as a leading regional aviation hub.
The project scope includes the construction of a new terminal building and associated support facilities, the modernization and upgrading of existing infrastructure, the improvement of airside and landside operations, and the enhancement of overall operational efficiency and service delivery.
The procurement process has been ongoing over the past three months following the completion of the JKIA Master Plan in February 2026. More than 40 companies participated in the pre-bid conference held in April 2026, which clarified the project expectations and scope of work. The process was conducted in full compliance with applicable procurement laws and regulatory requirements, with all submissions evaluated on technical and financial merit.
As a Ministry, we remain firmly committed to transparency, accountability, and strict adherence to all required standards as we deliver world-class aviation infrastructure that will position JKIA as a premier gateway to Africa and drive Kenya’s economic growth and competitiveness.
I was joined by the Managing Director of the @KenyaAirports, Eng. Moses Wekesa, legal representatives from the Ministry and CRBC, as well as senior officials from the Ministry, CRBC, and KAA.

The Nairobi Hospital in Kenya 🇰🇪 is so exceptional that its doctors and nurses even use helicopters to carry out emergency medical evacuations, ensuring fast, life-saving, world-class healthcare.
Kenya has the second best healthcare system in Africa.
The sewer system currently serving Nairobi was constructed in 1970 and has long outgrown its capacity.
As the City expands, the aging infrastructure can no longer meet demand, forcing many residents to resort to unsafe waste disposal into the river; an option that has exposed communities to serious health risks.
In response, the Government has initiated the construction of a modern sewer network designed to match the needs of the rapidly growing capital and its surrounding regions.
At the heart of the Nairobi River Regeneration Programme is the development of twin trunk sewer lines stretching approximately 28 kilometres along both banks of the river corridor.
The system runs across key sections from Naivasha Road to Museum Hill, through Dagoretti and Chiromo via Kirichwa Kubwa and onward to Dandora Falls.
Upon completion, it will handle up to 310 million litres of wastewater daily, serving areas such as Westlands, Lavington, Kangemi, Kawangware and Kikuyu, significantly easing pressure on existing infrastructure.
This effort is being implemented alongside the Climate WorX initiative, which focuses on cleaning the river, reclaiming riparian land and restoring the ecosystem through tree planting.
The construction has created employment for over 1,000 people on-site, with thousands of other youth engaged in sanitation and environmental restoration, demonstrating how climate action can be effectively aligned with job creation.
The State Department for Internal Security and National Administration plays a critical coordinating role in the project, ensuring seamless collaboration among agencies, safeguarding public order and supporting environmental conservation efforts. 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗣𝗜𝗖𝗦 - https://t.co/cIykB9kEAu

Having lost our father at a young age and being raised by our mother, I understand firsthand the struggles of orphans and widows.
That personal journey led me to establish the Widows Empowerment Program and it continues to drive my commitment to protecting and uplifting these vulnerable groups, through the implementation of government policies and initiatives such as the Social Health Authority (SHA), access to national IDs and voter registration, all aimed at making life more bearable and ensuring widows are seen, heard and supported.
