Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Transporters in the country have been put on notice after the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) issued new overload fees.<\/p>\n

In a statement released January 4, 2021, KeNHA urged that transporters from across the country to take heed of the new charges which took effect on January 1.<\/p>\n

“KeNHA would like to inform all transporters of the new schedule for the overload fees payable effective 1st January 2021 – 2030. We ask all transporters to note and ensure axle load compliance at all times.<\/p>\n

The agency further warned that overloading is extremely destructive to roads in the country.<\/p>\n

KeNHA announced that overloads of up to 500 kilograms will command a Ksh 25786 ($235.90) fee, Ksh52,742 ($482.50) for overloads of up to 1000 kilograms, and Ksh 82043 ($750.55) for overloads of up to 1,500 kilograms.<\/p>\n

The agency has championed for the maintenance of roads across the country, further reiterating on compliance to road regulations as to decelerate the destruction of roads in the country.<\/p>\n

KeNHA has persistently cautioned transporters against subverting regulations on overloading.<\/p>\n

The agency has successfully conducted oversight on the construction of roads and several other projects in the country, most recently, the Mombasa floating bridge, the Kenol-Marua dual carriageway, and the Nairobi expressway.<\/p>\n

The Nairobi Expressway is part of a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model where private firms, contracted to build and operate the highway, will charge a toll fee to recover their investment before handing over the facility to the government.<\/p>\n

The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) previously noted that a Chinese firm, which will build the 27.1 km road linking the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to Nairobi-Nakuru highway, will operate the road for 27 years before handing it over to the State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
