City Hall has begun removing billboards and outdoor advertising structures that have been erected without approval. In a statement, Lands and Urban Planning executive Charles Kerich told advertising firms to settle their debts before the 10th of every month. Outdoor advertising companies owe the Nairobi County Government Sh227 million. Advertising firms with approvals will erect single sided billboards and cannot convert them to become double-sided billboards without seeking approval from City Hall. Waiyaki Way, Ngong Road, Lang'ata Road, Mombasa Roads and Thika Superhighway were singled out as having the most illegal billboards.
