The government is edging nearer to introducing tolls on Mombasa’s Dongo Kundu Bypass, following approval of the proposal by the National Treasury.

Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) is now expected to conduct a feasibility study that will guide the next stage of the proposal. Kenha is then expected to select a private firm through a competitive bidding which will implement the toll system, collecting fees from motorists to fund the road's operation and maintenance.
