Description	The government of Kenya has dropped the mega Sh468 billion Nairobi-Mombasa Expressway project, also known as the Usahihi Expressway project. The project was backed by Everstrong Capital from the United States and was planned as a landmark infrastructure project in Africa. The project was terminated by the public-private-partnership (PPP) committee of the National Treasury due to not meeting relevant criteria, with the committee directing the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) to expand the existing highway instead. The project had a proposed construction cost of Sh465.12 billion and was to be a toll-based expressway.
