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.
