Kenya's highway authority demolished structures on Thika Road, triggering clashes with traders who protested poor notice and compensation.
On February 19, 2026, Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) demolitions along Thika Road in Nairobi’s Githurai sparked clashes as traders resisted, blocking lanes and protesting inadequate notice and compensation.
The operation, part of a seven-day ultimatum to clear road reserves for safety and infrastructure, led to tear gas and baton charges by police.
Traders and opposition leaders condemned the nighttime enforcement as excessive and inhumane, while KeNHA cited road safety and legal compliance.
The incident highlighted tensions between urban development and informal livelihoods.
