A Nakuru Chief Magistrate has fined two men Ksh1 million each, in default of which they will serve one and a half years in prison, for unlawfully removing a road bump sign along the Nakuru-Kabarak Road.

The signage, located near Kabarak University in Rongai Sub-County, Nakuru County, was classified as essential road infrastructure.   The two men pleaded guilty to the offence of Destruction of Infrastructure, contrary to Section 24(1) as read with Section 24(2) of the Scrap Metal Act No. 1 of 2015.

Their actions, the court ruled, posed a grave danger to motorists and other road users who rely on such signage for safe navigation.
