Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse says President William Ruto will soon announce plans to dual the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway. People Daily reported the claim on Monday. According to the MP, the project would fall under the proposed National Infrastructure Fund.

The road is one of Kenya's busiest highways. It connects Nairobi to the Port of Mombasa, a critical gateway for imports. People Daily reported that the expansion is expected to improve transport along the route. The sources give no cost or timeline, and State House has not confirmed the plan.

Mutuse also spoke on health policy on Monday. In a video published by the Daily Nation, he challenged the Opposition to propose an alternative to the Social Health Authority (SHA).
