Ruto’s Cabinet Finally Approves Dualling of Kiambu Road
The Cabinet has approved the expansion of the Muthaiga-Kiambu-Ndumberi route from a two-lane roadway to a dual carriageway.
In a dispatch sent on Tuesday, November 11, the Cabinet stated that the move was important to alleviate traffic congestion and boost travel between Nairobi and Kiambu Counties.
“Cabinet gave the green light to the dualling of the 23.5km Muthaiga-Kiambu-Ndumberi road to ease congestion and improve mobility between Nairobi and Kiambu counties,” the dispatch read.
“Cabinet noted that the corridor, serving Muthaiga, Runda, Ridgeways, and Kiambu Town, currently experiences chronic traffic congestion, particularly during peak hours,” it added.
The Cabinet has confirmed that the project will feature bypasses, loops, and access roads to boost capacity and shorten travel times.
Furthermore, to ensure accessibility, the project will include non-motorized vehicle lanes as well as pedestrian and cycling commuter amenities.

“The dualling is part of the government’s broader effort to modernise Nairobi’s metropolitan transport network in line with Kenya Vision 2030 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals on infrastructure and mobility,” the dispatch read.
The declaration comes two weeks after Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja announced that the county government will invest Ksh2.1 billion in road development and rehabilitation throughout all 17 sub-counties in the country’s capital.
Speaking on Saturday, October 25, Sakaja stated that the county government is working with the national government to carry out these initiatives.
He further stated that the county has already spent KSh867 million on the construction and restoration of roads in Embakasi East and West.
Umoja One SDA Road, Kwa Maji Road, Umoja Rockfield Road, Tena Police Post Access Road, the Bypass–Mihango Link Road, Aviation School–Fedha–Tassia–Nyayo Embakasi Road, Embakasi Road to Embakasi Village, Mihango Kajuju Road, Kibiku Muhuyu Road, and Komarock Estate Access Road are some of the road projects being prioritised in the initiative.

“These are not plans on paper; they are projects residents can see taking shape,” Sakaja Said.
“In total, Embakasi East and West have received Sh867 million out of the Sh2.1 billion set aside for city roads, and most of these projects will be completed soon.”
“From Kasarani to Dagoretti, from Lang’ata to Westlands, every corner of Nairobi is seeing progress,” he added.
“We are connecting estates, schools, markets, and health facilities through better roads. This is how we bring services closer to our people.”
