The Kenya Railways Corporation has moved to end the illegal occupation of its reserve lands, following increased activity which has been facilitated by the revamping of several rail lines.
The corporation announced that anyone found encroaching its land would be held criminally culpable and hefty fines will be imposed.
In a statement, the railway service provider reminded Kenyans that it was a criminal offence to occupy its land. KR would like to inform the General Public that with or without prior knowledge, occupation of the Corporation s reserve land is criminal.

Summary
Phase one of the complex will cost Sh315 million and is expected to be completed in six months.
Kisumu County has kicked off the construction of Sh500 million Kibuye market after demolishing more than 300 illegal structures in one of East and Central Africa’s oldest and largest open-air market.
Kisumu acting City Manager Abala Wanga said the clearance of the 13.6 acres of land now gives them an opportunity to embark on the first phase of modernising the market that will accommodate more than 3,000 traders.
Phase one of the complex will cost Sh315 million and is expected to be completed in six months. “The project was running behind schedule due to the acts of cartels who were putting hurdles and attempting to resist modernisation of the market,” he said.

Owners of buildings on road reserves in Kisumu have one month to remove them or they will be demolished. We have mapped out areas reserved for public parks and road reserves. Unfortunately, some public land have illegal structures which makes it hard for us to use them as planned, Acting City Manager Abala Wanga said yesterday.
Wanga spoke at Anderson Ofafa Estate where Governor Anyang Nyong o launched an affordable houses project that will cost Sh3 billion.
