Kitale Municipality Pavement Improvement Program to Revamp Town’s Image.

   The Kitale Municipality, under the Department of Lands, Physical Planning, Housing, and Urban Development, has launched an ambitious pavement improvement program aimed at repairing and replacing parking lots in the town.Speaking during the launch of the works on Monday, Acting Municipal Manager Irine Nang’ole described the initiative as a cornerstone of Kitale’s beautification efforts, intended to restore the town to its former glory and transform it into a prime destination for both tourists and businesspeople.“This is part of our ongoing Kitale beautification program to change the face of the town,” said Ms. Nang’ole. “This year, we are committed to ensuring Kitale is clean, beautiful, and a welcoming destination for all.”As part of the program, the municipality will repair and mark the streets to provide motorists with proper parking spaces and a more organized environment for daily activities.Once the pavement works are complete, Ms. Nang’ole emphasized that road markings will follow to improve accessibility for visitors. “We want motorists to find Kitale town conducive and efficient as they go about their day-to-day activities,” she explained.The municipal manager also urged residents to support the beautification efforts by protecting the town’s infrastructure. “We are calling upon residents to cooperate by safeguarding the improvements, such as ornamental trees and litter bins placed strategically for rubbish collection,” she said.In a stern warning to vandals and lawbreakers, Ms. Nang’ole added, “Anyone found vandalizing litter bins or destroying ornamental trees will face severe consequences. Let this serve as a warning.”She also addressed concerns about stray cattle grazing in the town, which has been a long-standing issue. “Starting in 2025, we are taking a hard stance. Any animals found grazing in the town centre will be confiscated, and their owners will be charged for violating the law, and to carb the livestock menace, we are in the process of formulating bylaws that will curb illegal grazing,” she stated.The pavement improvement program is part of a broader initiative to restore Kitale’s reputation as a vibrant, clean, and organized urban hub.  Read More
