The Kenya Urban Roads Authority has dismissed claims that it painted the newly commissioned Ngong Road-Naivasha Road flyover with green colours to align with the ruling party, the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

Responding to public concerns, KURA maintained that the green and mustard colour scheme used on the 820-metre flyover is part of its official branding identity and not linked to any political affiliation.

"Please note that the green and mustard colours are part of our brand identity," KURA stated in response.

The authority's response came after the public questioned why the flyover was painted green, with some suggesting the colour was associated with President William Ruto's UDA party, which uses green as part of its official colours.

Some argued that government infrastructure should avoid colours perceived to have political associations.

"Government should be barred from using party colours in branding public projects," one social media user commented.

KURA, however, maintained that the project's design and colour scheme were guided strictly by institutional branding standards, not by political considerations, putting an end to the growing speculations.

The flyover, built at a cost of Ksh3.8 billion , was officially commissioned by President Ruto on Monday, June 29, amid criticism from some members of the public.

Some people questioned why a Head of State would use public resources to go and commission a flyover that was not up to a kilometre.

However, Ruto dismissed the critics, stating that it is the job he is mandated to do.
