PPP Committee clears Mombasa and Lamu port assets for private investment

National Treasury's PPP Committee approved feasibility studies for Mombasa Berths 11–14, Container Terminal 1, and the Lamu Container Terminal/Special Economic Zone integrated concession — the first formal procurement-track step for Kenya's largest port privatisation programme to date, setting up a September 2026 market engagement. Independently confirmed via the founder-directed targeted verification gate (2026-09-10) across multiple corroborating outlets, not solely the master's original single source.

SGR Phase 2B contractor mobilisation begins

Contractor camp establishment in Narok County reported ahead of the next implementation stage, confirming the construction start has moved into physical mobilisation.

Kenya Railways begins construction of Naivasha–Kisumu–Malaba SGR extension

Kenya Railways officially commenced construction of the 475km Naivasha–Kisumu–Malaba SGR extension in Narok County — the formal start of Kenya's largest active rail infrastructure commitment since the original Mombasa–Nairobi SGR. Date corrected from the master's originally-cited 19 March 2026 groundbreaking to 1 July 2026 (construction commencement) per the targeted verification gate, which found the July date far more consistently corroborated across independent outlets.

KETRACO commissions Isinya–Konza 400kV transmission line

A 48km double-circuit high-voltage line and new 400/132/66kV Konza substation were completed and commissioned, directly underpinning power supply to Konza Technopolis and strengthening the southern Nairobi grid corridor.

Kenya's PPP pipeline reaches 40 active projects, Sh1.7tn programme

The PPP Director-General announced at the Kenya PPP Symposium 2026 that 10 projects are under implementation and 41 more across the pipeline, targeting Sh70bn in private capital for FY2026/27 — the clearest official signal of the scale and acceleration of Kenya's PPP programme as a market. Programme-level signal; deliberately not linked to any single Infrastructure record (see Section 10.B of the master — an editorial interface, not a per-project relationship).

Konza Technopolis Development Authority renamed under new Technopolis Act

President Ruto assented to the Technopolis Act, 2026 on 11 May 2026 (gazetted 15 May 2026 as Kenya Gazette Supplement No. 120, Act No. 13 of 2026), renaming the Konza Technopolis Development Authority (KoTDA) to the Technopolis Development Authority — an institutional/legal upgrade ahead of Konza's stated "acceleration phase." Now backed by a genuine Tier 1 Kenya Law/Gazette source, upgraded from the master's original press-only sourcing via the targeted verification gate.

MTRH Ultra-Modern College of Health Sciences PPP tender closes

Tender for the 30-year PPP-financed medical training complex at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital closed — the first Kenyan healthcare-education PPP of this structure/scale to reach tender close.
