People in the Korogocho slum face losing their homes during heavy rains. The government wants to clear sixty meters along the Nairobi River for a new project. Many locals have lived there their entire lives without any place else to go. Officials gave eviction notices but offered no compensation plans. Families watch as bulldozers destroy everything they built.

The county published details about creating a special zone from Naivasha Road to Ruai. Some officials told residents different stories about affordable housing instead of river protection. Angry landlords disrupted a meeting with the Housing Ministry because nobody asked for their input. Similar problems happened in Embakasi, where the Kenya Pipeline Company forced people off land they claimed. KPC said they needed to prevent fires or oil spills near pipelines.

Senator Edwin Sifuna asked the Senate to help these communities fighting unfair treatment. He believes people deserve respect even when development happens. His petition listed major concerns about poor communication, threats during removal, lack of payment options, and missing alternatives. Generations of families built lives in these areas only to watch them disappear overnight. The rain keeps falling as homeless families wonder what comes next.
