  • Transporters in the country have been put on notice after the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) issued new overload fees.

    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.

    “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.

    The agency further warned that overloading is extremely destructive to roads in the country.

    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.

    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.

    KeNHA has persistently cautioned transporters against subverting regulations on overloading.

    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.

    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.

    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.
