Rironi-Mau Summit: 300 traders face uncertain future as Rift Valley viewpoint tourism takes shape
Nearly 300 traders, employees, and small-scale vendors who depended on businesses at Kenya’s Great Rift Valley Viewpoint face an uncertain future due to demolitions linked to the Rironi-Mau Summit highway expansion. The demolitions have affected roadside curio shops where traders sold Maasai shukas, soapstone carvings, beads, and necklaces to motorists and tourists travelling between Nairobi and Nakuru.
The government announced plans to transform the viewpoint through cable cars, redesigned curio shops, and hotels, but has not provided details on how traders affected by the road expansion would be accommodated in the proposed redevelopment.
