Residents and business owners along Kangundo Road on Saturday morning took to the streets to protest against demolition of their property. Several businesses and houses all the way to Manyanja Road were brought down during the operation conducted in the wee hours of Friday. "It is absurd that the President [Uhuru Kenyatta] can launch businesses and projects at night while ours are destroyed," one trader decried. The traders at the Kang'undo construction yard were alerted by security guards about the arrival of bulldozers at the site at 3am on Saturday. "We waited from 4am to rush to the site only to find most of the buildings already demolished," said a trader.
