Leaders in Nyeri County have assured over 2,000 traders in Karatina and Chaka towns that they will not be evicted by the Kenya Railways Corporation.

Traders were issued with a notice ordering them to vacate the rail line reserves to give way for the pending full possession and refurbishment of lines by the corporation.
