President William Ruto announced plans to build a 60-kilometre expressway linking Nairobi to Thika town during Jamhuri Day celebrations. The project, slated to begin in 2026, seeks to ease severe traffic congestion on the current route. It will start at the Museum Hill interchange and end in Thika.
The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has warned Thika residents against handling or eating meat from a hyena killed by locals. The incident happened on Saturday morning in Kamenu Location, Thika West Sub-County, Kiambu County. KWS noted the hyena was scavenging on dumped poultry remains.
