Municipal Marketing – Garissa Municipality

Our mandate

Telling Garissa’s story and keeping advertising orderly

The Municipal Marketing division sits within the Municipal Enforcement directorate. It handles the municipality’s own publicity and branding, and it regulates how businesses advertise in public space: billboards, wall signs, street-pole banners and event branding.

Well-managed advertising protects the look of the town and creates a fair playing field for every trader. Applications are assessed on location, safety and design, so that adverts complement the streetscape instead of obstructing walkways, roads or public facilities.
