It all started in June 2019 with a one-month notice from Kenya Railways terminating leases for some of its premises and land.
The following month, traders at Lwang’ni Beach in Kisumu became the first victims of the demolitions in which at least 20 eateries were brought down.
A few of the traders secured spaces at Dunga Beach, about five kilometres south of Lwang’ni, while some moved to other areas within the town, and others shut down businesses for good.

KISUMU, KENYA: A phone vendor Mary Atieno and Grace Anyango knew their mobile phone shop was about to be demolished when they got a call at breakfast from the city authorities to vacate their premises.
Later on a Tuesday evening last year, the city bulldozers arrived to flatten everything in the name of makeshift structures on the streets of Kisumu. Theirs was among them.
Located in a park near Akamba bus station, the phone vendors were part of a huddle of small shops and cafes that formed over 200 makeshift shopping centres declared illegal by the city and razed down.
