The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has carried out demolitions of illegal structures along the Kisii-Kadongo and Kadongo-Ahero A1 Road, targeting four trading centres where businesses had encroached on road reserves.The operation, conducted by KeNHA's Corridor D Management Team on July 16, 2026, followed warnings and public sensitisation campaigns.The demolitions included unauthorised buildings, illegal signage, and access culverts that disrupted drainage and road safety.KeNHA emphasised that the action was necessary to protect the road reserve, enhance safety, and ensure future infrastructure development.The A1 Road, a critical link between Kisii, Kadongo, and Ahero, had faced safety concerns due to structures obstructing visibility and drainage.KeNHA urged the public to avoid building on road reserves and to seek formal approval for any construction near national roads.This move is part of broader efforts to improve road safety and maintain efficient traffic flow on major highways.
