All looked fine until one morning when a yellow bulldozer arrived without notice at her house in Nyama Villa, Kayole. From a landlady, she had been reduced to a squatter doing odd jobs. Mary’s former neighbour Nelson Namisi lost his grandson Wilson Juma during the demolition. Eighteen units belonging to Namisi, including his three-bedroom house, were demolished, forcing him to move to a one-bedroom flat. Wilson Kariuki, the managing director of Wiskam Auctioneers that supervised the demolition, warned homeowners against taking advantage of the recent government order stopping the demolitions.
