On Monday, residents of Mukuru Kwa Njenga were left in despair after a building collapsed killing one and left 13 injured. Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko on Tuesday condemned the manner in which NMS carried out Mukuru Kwa Rueben demolitions terming it inhumane. “Since Mukuru was declared a special planning area, the community and NGOs had agreed on which areas to clear and which not.
