Kenya Railways flattened a governor's businesses overnight, defending the demolition as necessary land repossession. The corporation targeted properties near Nyayo Stadium, including a restaurant and car wash owned by Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi. Security officers supervised the operation, which also cleared liquor stores and beauty salons from the area.
The state corporation stated this action clears space for a new railway station beside Nyayo National Stadium. Plans include a spur line connecting the Nairobi Central station to the Talanta Sports City Stadium through Kibera. This infrastructure project aims to improve transportation for a major continental football tournament.
