Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has issued executive orders stopping the ongoing demolition of buildings including those built on disputed parcels of land. Sonko issued the executive orders on Thursday morning after holding talks with President Uhuru Kenyatta who is out of the country. “I have today declared that no more buildings will be demolished until after the festive season is over. Please seek the intervention of the President to allow us and our families enjoy the festive season,” said Nyagah. I know the courts approved the demolitions but on grounds of humanity, we cannot torture our fellow citizens especially during this festive season.
