Public Commenting Period on the Environmental & Social Impact Assessment Study Report (ESIA Report) for the proposed Nairobi Expressway now open.

On Monday, 24 February 2020, the National Environmental Management Authority of Kenya published a notice in the Standard inviting public comments on the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Report for the proposed Nairobi Expressway project.

Concerns have been raised about the project’s potential impacts on Nairobi’s iconic Uhuru Park and other public open spaces, as well as the expressway’s inaccessibility to most Nairobi residents, given the proposed toll to access the road.
