Traders in Maseno are in shock after the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) demolished their shops built on road reserves along the Kisumu–Busia highway, stretching from Maseno University in Kisumu County all the way to Luanda in Vihiga County.

Josephine Rawaka, a mother who operated a kibanda where she sold mangoes and chips, said the demolition has left her family helpless as it was their major source of income.
