The Nairobi City County Government intensified crackdown on illegal and cluttered billboards across the city, targeting major roads including Mombasa Road, Ngong Road, Waiyaki Way, and James Gichuru Road.
Chief Officer for Urban Development and Planning, Patrick Analo put advertising companies on notice, urging them to voluntarily take down unauthorized billboards or face stiff penalties.
“Advertising companies are urged to undertake self-removal of these billboards because if we remove them, we will impound them and charge the companies a removal penalty,” Analo warned.
In addition to the billboard crackdown, the Sakaja Johnson Administration has stepped up efforts to restore and expand street lighting across Nairobi.
New lighting poles are being erected along Lower Hill Road, Dar es Salaam Road, Enterprise Road, Ngong Road, Arboretum Drive, and in several parts of Kilimani, the CBD, Buruburu, and Westlands.
However, Analo noted that some of the streetlight power cables have been tampered with by individuals installing unauthorized pole-mounted billboards.
