Embakasi residents fight demolitions

Embakasi residents who live along the Murathi Road have accused the Nairobi government and Embakasi police boss of colluding with a private developer to demolish their houses.

They said Anish Dosh forged a title deed for three acres. The residents said they have genuine title deeds.

The areas most affected by the demolitions are Mukuru Kwa Njenga, Mukuru Kwa Ruben, Mukuru Kayaba,Mukuru Sinai, Kyang’ombe, Kware ,Pipeline and Umoja residential areas.

Most of these demolitions have been carried out without prior notice to residents. There are many families who have been displaced severally from many of these areas and are now traumatized.

The government has been reluctant to give explanations about the demolitions and it does seem that it is never aware. The City Council of Nairobi has never been heard on this.
