The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) is intensifying its crackdown on road encroachment by demolishing unauthorized structures along three highways, with traders bearing the full cost of removal and no compensation.

• The affected roads are Chebarbar Lessons Nabkoli (B121), Mayoni Bungoma (B139), and Chepsonoi Kapsabet (B121).
• A 30-day notice period, which expired on June 26, 2026, was issued by KeNHA for traders to remove structures like stalls, buildings, and billboards from road reserves.
• Demolitions fall under the Roads Act, 2007, specifically Clause 49, which criminalizes building on road reserves without permission, unlike compensable demolitions for approved road projects under Section 29.
