The Requesters acknowledge the Panel’s previous reports on the Project. They state that Bungoma County Government fully paid for a plot of land to be used for the construction of a market place where the businesses of 52 mobile traders will be relocated. They add the Bungoma County Government finalized the land title deed on March 4, 2020, and works were expected to start on July 1, 2020. They state that to date the works have not started. They ask for the “construction to begin immediately”, threats against them be stopped, and that the World Bank convenes a meeting between mobile traders and the Bungoma County.
The Panel reviewed the Request for Inspection in accordance with its mandate and operating procedures and given the Project closed on December 31, 2019, the Panel did not register the Request.
