The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has introduced a strategy meant to safeguard road assets from vandalism.

The Road Corridor Management strategy will see the authority streamline the monitoring of highways to curb overloading, vandalism and protect road infrastructure.

KeNHA will monitor the main highway corridors in three teams.

Corridor one will comprise Mombasa to Athi River, Emali to Loitoktok, Namanga to Rironi and the Nairobi Southern bypass totalling 775km, while corridor two will comprise Rironi to Malaba, Rironi to Kisii and Mau Summit to Kisumu and Busia totalling 838km. Corridor three will comprise Nairobi to Moyale and Thika to Liboi totalling 1,337km.

During a briefing, KeNHA Director General Peter Mundinia said this plan would not only safeguard 2,950km of the road network but also the other 14,000km under the authority's jurisdiction.
