Yes, punish those who defaced our cities

The proliferation of posters advertising the suitability of aspirants to various political offices so roused the National Environmental Management Authority (Nema) that it threatened to slap the offenders with a fine. Either that threat went unheeded because everywhere the eye lands in most towns and trading centres, lies a campaign poster. There is no lamp post, billboard, wall or surface where these posters cannot be found.

Not even vital road signs have been spared. That is in spite of prominent warnings by the Kenya National Highways Authority of a Sh85,000 fine for posters placed on road furniture.
