Well that escalated quickly with cops tearing through a neighborhood. Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja slammed forced demolitions in Mukuru kwa Njenga, calling the action illegal. A large police presence used teargas on residents opposing eviction for the Catherine Ndereba Road project. Sakaja stated no agency approved the construction plans through proper county committees.
He emphasized dialogue must happen before any displacement, criticizing the heavy-handed approach. Compensation talks and damage assessments are now supposedly starting. The planned thirty-meter-wide road would link Mukuru to the industrial area, the international airport, and the expressway. Sakaja vowed to mediate a proper process with the affected community.
