President William Ruto’s ambitious plan to restore Nairobi’s rivers has hit a major roadblock as furious residents fight back against forced evictions!
During a heated engagement on Wednesday, residents from Dagoretti and Westlands declared they were blindsided by a government notice demanding they surrender their land. No consultation, no warning—just a threat to their homes and livelihoods!
“You want to take our land? Come and explain it to our faces first!” – One resident fumed, insisting that proper legal procedures must be followed.
The government’s eviction plan isn’t just targeting households—it’s also set to shut down 145 businesses, which Environment CS Aden Duale accuses of polluting Nairobi’s rivers. No compliance? Immediate closure!
But residents are refusing to go down without a fight, calling the move a historic injustice that could leave thousands homeless overnight—just like the brutal demolitions of 2018, where 4,000 families were wiped off the map.
Key Flashpoints in the Nairobi River Battle:
🔴 Unannounced Land Grabs: Residents say no one consulted them about the evictions!
🔴 Evictions Without Compensation? Homeowners demand clarity on their rights!
🔴 145 Businesses to Be Shut Down! Duale warns polluters must go—no exceptions!
🔴 Memories of 2018 Demolitions Return! Thousands fear losing their homes again!
With the Nairobi Rivers Commission now considering resettlement plans for those set to be displaced, one thing is clear—this fight is far from over!
