KURA Slams Kenyan Prince for Reckless Roadside Fire Stunt on Busy Public Road

The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has condemned Raymond Omosa, popularly known as Kenyan Prince. He set fires on a busy public road to celebrate his 23rd birthday. The stunt went viral and sparked public outrage.

KURA said the act was dangerous and reckless. Lighting fires on roads risks lives. It disrupts traffic and damages infrastructure. “We understand the enthusiasm that comes with celebrating achievements. However, lighting fires on public roads is unacceptable. It endangers lives, disrupts public safety, and causes long-term damage to our roads. Let’s act responsibly and refrain from such actions,” the authority said.

The incident shows the risk of using public spaces for stunts. Vehicles and pedestrians face serious danger. Fires on tarmac can weaken roads and increase repair costs. Authorities warn that accidents or damages could have legal consequences.

The public has reacted strongly. Many Kenyans criticised Kenyan Prince for his recklessness. They said a small mistake could have caused serious injury or death. Others pointed out his disregard for public property. Many stressed that social media fame should not risk lives or roads.

KURA emphasised the need for safety. Citizens were urged to celebrate responsibly. Roads are for travel, not for stunts or social media shows. Authorities and road users called for accountability to prevent future incidents.

The stunt is a reminder that public spaces carry responsibility. Celebrations must not endanger people or damage property. Citizens should respect laws and think beyond likes and views. KURA warned that reckless behavior could have serious legal and social consequences.
