Landlords affected by the expansion of the Nairobi-Nakuru highway will go to court to stop the project should an eagerly awaited Senate compensation report be unfavourable to them. The more than 1,200 landlords, whose houses were marked for demolition to allow the expansion on the road, said yesterday that they had been counting losses since 2014 after tenants left. A Senate report on the compensation for People Affected by the Project (PAP) is due on Thursday next week. Njuki said members, who had resolved to go to court to stop the construction, decided to wait until the Senate releases its report and recommendations. “If the Senate report will not be favourable to us, we shall quickly move to court and stop the ongoing work.”The affected landlords have properties between Kangemi and Kamandura, where there is an exchange to Maai Mahiu and another to Limuru road.
