Ruto Sets April 2027 Deadline for Rironi-Mau Summit Highway
President William Ruto has brought forward the planned completion of the Rironi-Mau Summit highway to April 2027, two months ahead of his original June deadline, as the government prepares to extend the Northern Corridor towards Malaba.
President William Ruto has revised the completion deadline for the Rironi-Mau Summit highway to April 2027, up from the previous June 2027 target. The first phase of the 233-kilometre project will connect Rironi to Mau Summit, after which work will begin on extending the highway to Malaba on the Uganda border. The highway is expected to ease traffic congestion, reduce travel time, and improve movement to western Kenya and neighboring countries.
Ruto emphasized that the road would have four to six lanes in different sections to facilitate congestion relief and generate revenue for the country. The project is being implemented through a public-private partnership involving the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), China Road and Bridge Corporation, and Shandong Hi-Speed Road and Bridge International.
