Garissa Governor Nathif Jama publicly summoned four national government officers to explain what they have done about what he termed as the "serious encroachment" of road reserves.

Speaking on Tuesday at the county assembly during the opening of a new building, the governor called upon officials from the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), Kenya Roads Board (KRB), and Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) to explain what their respective departments are doing about the matter.
