Hundreds of traders along the Kisumu-Busia highway are facing significant losses after the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) began demolishing their shops and stalls on Thursday, September 11, to clear the road for expansion. The demolitions, which affected areas in Maseno town and Luanda, occurred amid accusations from traders that KeNHA failed to provide adequate prior notification.

• Hundreds of traders impacted by the demolitions.
• KeNHA, a government agency, is responsible for the highway expansion.
• A 2018 notice was the last formal communication many traders recall receiving from KeNHA regarding planned demolitions.
