The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has issued a directive requiring illegal roadside traders and occupants to vacate designated areas along four major highways within 30 days. The order, issued by KeNHA Director General Luka Kimeli on Tuesday, applies to locations along the Likoni-Ukunda-Lunga Lunga (A7) Road, Kilifi-Malindi-Garsen-Witu (A7) Road, Maili Tisa-Kitale (B14) Road, and Eldoret-Nyaru (B124) Road.
These traders and occupants are instructed to clear their goods, structures, and any encroachments from the road reserves by Thursday, October 29, 2026.
Kimeli explained that this directive is part of ongoing service road improvements, bus bay construction, and drainage rehabilitation works. These projects aim to enhance road safety, improve visibility, and alleviate traffic congestion. The authority emphasized that any structures or goods left after the 30-day period will be removed without prior notice to the owners, and the removal cost will be the responsibility of the owners.
KeNHA stated that the removal process will comply with laws and regulations governing road reserve protection and management.
