The County Government of Kajiado has issued a public notice directing all individuals, businesses and developers with outdoor advertisements and fibre optic installations to regularize their developments within 30 days or risk removal.
The notice, dated January 9, 2026, was issued by the Department of Lands, Physical Planning, Housing, Urban Development and Municipalities. It targets unauthorized outdoor advertising structures such as billboards, gantries, wall wraps and LED screens, as well as underground and overhead fibre optic cables installed without proper approvals.
According to the county government, the move is aimed at restoring order and promoting a safe and conducive business environment across towns in Kajiado. Authorities say many of the installations have been undertaken without development permission and proper siting, posing risks to public safety and the urban environment.

The county warned that poorly installed structures obstruct motorists, pedestrians and cyclists, interfere with traffic flow, and negatively affect visual order, aesthetics and the overall quality of the urban environment. Some installations have also been flagged as a danger to existing developments and public infrastructure.
All affected parties have been instructed to submit or resubmit their applications for vetting and approval before the expiry of the notice. Failure to comply, the county cautioned, will result in the removal of all unauthorized developments at the owners’ cost, without further reference.
For guidance on the regularization process, applicants have been advised to visit municipal offices in Ngong, Kitengela and Kajiado towns. The department can also be contacted through its official email addresses for clarifications.
