Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi inspects the ruins of his business premises after demolition along Douglas Wakihuri Road, behind Nyayo Stadium, Nairobi, on January 14, 2026. Police barricaded Douglas Wakihuri Road, along which the premises were located, turning away motorists and only allowing access to those seeking to fuel at a nearby station. The demolition of the structures on Kenya Railways land was carried out in the early hours of Tuesday under heavy police supervision, leaving the governor counting significant losses. Kenya Railways, however, insisted that it had issued notice weeks before the exercise. In court, Superclean stated that it had leased the property from Kenya Railways and had been occupying it for two decades.
