This project has improved the daily lives of 100,000 households in Kasarani, Kiambu and Thika, by reducing their travel time from three hours to 30 minutes. By building a 45-kilometre eight-lane motorway with nine interchanges, between Nairobi's central business district and the town of Thika, the average traffic speed has gone from 8 km/h to 45 km/h. The 2014 Presidential Award for Excellence was awarded to the Nairobi-Thika Highway improvement project, the "Kenya Highway", which stood out on account of its strong impact on the lives of beneficiaries. Twelve projects were nominated, with three winners. Kaberuka added that the awards are a reflection of the good work by the staff of the Bank.
