More than 40,000 people in Nairobi's Mihang'o and Njiru wards are now homeless after their houses were demolished by Kenya Power. The power distributor accuses those affected of building on way leaves and sewer lines. The demolitions have attracted the ire of MCAs who, on Labour Day, said that state agencies had ignored a presidential directive against demolitions. The MCAs say that President Uhuru Kenyatta had, through the Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua, stopped the demolitions. What they have demolished is enough because we cannot sit back and witness injustice done against our people,” he said.
