Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, Musalia Mudavadi, on Monday met with envoys from the G7 countries and other development partners to review the progress of flagship transport projects aimed at easing congestion across the Nairobi Metropolitan Area.

The meeting, held at Railways Headquarters, was also attended by Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary Hon. Davis Chirchir and other senior government officials. Discussions centered on infrastructure programmes designed to improve urban mobility, enhance connectivity, and support sustainable development.

The G7 — a group of major advanced economies comprising Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States — was represented by members of the diplomatic corps and Representatives of the European Union, which participates in G7 dialogues, were also present.

Dr. Mudavadi reaffirmed the Kenyan government’s commitment to implementing transformative transport solutions that align with the country’s long-term development goals.

“These projects go beyond easing traffic,” he said. “They are about building a modern, inclusive, and livable city that meets the needs of all Kenyans.”

He called on development partners to sustain their support and deepen collaboration as the government accelerates implementation of urban mobility reforms.

British High Commissioner H.E. Neil Wigan reiterated the UK strong backing for Kenya’s infrastructure agenda, especially the Railway City initiative.

“We are working closely with the government on the expression of interest and are now awaiting the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Railways project,” Wigan said. “This collaboration is a clear example of how international partnerships can deliver practical results.”

The pilot programmes under review are part of a broader government push to modernize public transport systems through innovation, public-private partnerships, and green urban planning.
