The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has kicked off the hunt for a contractor to drag Kiambu Road; officially the Pangani–Muthaiga–Kiambu–Ndumberi (B32) corridor out of two-lane purgatory.

China Exim Bank is footing the entire bill, and its loan terms insist the main builder hails from home turf. When completed, the upgrade will convert the current two-lane route into a modern four-lane dual carriageway, complete with two-lane service roads and continuous pedestrian walkways.
