In a bid to bolster sustainable funding for the road sector, the government is contemplating the integration of road tolling as a key financing platform. Eng. Joseph Mbugua, PS Roads, revealed that this strategic move aims to enhance the financial sustainability of road infrastructure projects. The implementation of road tolling is poised to offer a reliable revenue stream for the maintenance and development of roads across the country.
Eng. Mbugua emphasized the significance of the National Infrastructure Funding Policy as a pivotal enabler for achieving social, economic, and strategic viability within the road infrastructure sector. This policy framework is designed to support the effective allocation of resources and foster partnerships to drive infrastructure development initiatives forward. By leveraging road tolling as a funding mechanism, the government seeks to ensure the continued improvement and expansion of the road network, ultimately enhancing connectivity and facilitating economic growth nationwide.
