• The demolitions proceeded following a 72-hour vacation notice issued on March 4, 2026.
• Traders protested on Friday, March 6, claiming defiance of a court order halting demolition.

• Key figure: Environment Cabinet Secretary Deborah Barasa.
• The government assures that the land cleared is for reforestation efforts and not for private housing development, despite concerns from civil society groups.
