The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has issued a 30-day demolition notice to traders and developers along key roads in Western and Rift Valley regions, targeting all unauthorized structures within road reserves.

• The notice covers roads including Chebarbar-Lessos-Nabkoi (B12), Mayoni-Bungoma (B139), and Chepsonoi-Kapsabet (B12).
• The affected structures include makeshift stalls, buildings, billboards, and nursery beds erected without approval.
• This exercise aims to protect highway infrastructure and improve road safety, with non-compliance by June 26, 2026 potentially leading to demolition costs for owners.

Nairobi County has announced a six-month grace period for developers to regularise unauthorised but structurally sound buildings. After December, the county will begin strict enforcement, including demolitions.

• The initiative targets both ongoing and completed developments built without proper approvals.
• Led by Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, the programme aims to bring developments into compliance with the Nairobi City County Regularisation of Unauthorised Developments Regulations, 2025.
• Structures on public land, riparian areas, protected zones, and unsafe buildings are ineligible for regularisation.
