Why KURA wants this billboard on Ngong Road demolished

The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) on Thursday announced that it would demolish a billboard that was erected on Ngong Road since due process was not followed.

KURA further warned that those who erected it would face legal action.

“Please Note, the Billboard placed along Ngong Road is Illegal and @KURAroadshas NOT issued any Approvals to erect the Structure.

“The Billboard will be demolished and the culprits will face legal action. It is illegal to place any structure on our Roads without requisite Approval,” read the warning.

Interestingly, the billboard in question has the initials ‘KURA’ and most Kenyans struggled to understand how it got there in the first place.

Here are some of the reactions:

A case of right hand not knowing what left is doing! It's a KURA sign and you have no idea who put it there? Very interesting indeed!!— @ruhiu_ken (@ken_ruhiu) February 13, 2020

So a stranger places a 'KURA' sign and then KURA disowns it. Interesting times indeed.— Julius Caesar ???? (@juliuscaesar254) February 13, 2020

Is(n't) this an internal memo?

Incompetence taken to another level. KURA says KURA placed the sign without KURA's approval. What a tongue twister.— Tony Okongo (@Tony56013866) February 13, 2020

KURA looks in the mirror and goes like, 'I am not me and me is not me, I am not I, I is not me'
Repeat
