Mombasa and Kwale Landowners threaten to paralyze Sh18B Highway Project Over KeNHA Demolition Notice

Over 250 property owners along the Likoni-Lunga Lunga highway have threatened to sue the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) to halt a planned demolition exercise. The dispute arose after KeNHA ordered traders to vacate the road reserve by October 29, 2026, for drainage and service road upgrades. Represented by Mogaka Bwong'aki & Company Advocates, the landlords argue that independent surveys show their commercial buildings sit entirely on private titled land outside the 60-meter corridor. They demand an immediate joint boundary verification survey and full compensation before any land is acquired. Failure to comply will trigger an urgent Environment and Land Court injunction in Mombasa.
