The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has directed all roadside traders along the Thika Superhighway at the Roysambu (Both directions) and Githurai (Nairobi direction) sections to clear their wares from the road reserve within seven days.

In a notice issued on February 9, KeNHA said the move is intended to pave the way for the construction of designated bus bays.

The authority added that the bus bays are aimed at ensuring safe and orderly passenger pick-up and drop-off, as well as reducing traffic congestion along the affected sections.
