Governor Wycliffe Oparanya's dream to see Kakamega attain city status by 2022 could see at least 700 households with more than 80,000 people evicted in Mumias.

Those who own large parcels in Mumias around Ekama (triangle land), Mjini, Lumino, Shitukhumi, Manyatta, Lukoye and Nubian estates will be the most affected.
