Mombasa Man Faces Sh3M Or 3 Years For Bar Theft

A Mombasa man must pay Sh3 million or serve three years in jail for stealing road parts. He removed steel bars from the Miritini-Kipevu Road. The court noted he had done this before, having received community service for a similar crime in 2023. His actions broke the laws under the Scrap Metal Act.

The Kenya National Highways Authority asked people to help protect road equipment. They want citizens to report anyone who damages highways or steals parts. Road vandalism makes travel dangerous for everyone. The authority runs a free hotline at 0800211244 for reporting such crimes. They manage all major roads across the country.

KeNHA operates from Nairobi with ten regional offices throughout Kenya. It looks after national trunk roads classed as S, A, and B routes. The agency earned ISO certification first in 2013 and again in 2018. Recently, there has been worried about a rise in theft of road signs. The Kenya Roads Act sets rules against damaging public roads without permission.
