The government is investigating the Kariobangi North evictions that left 5,000 Nairobi families homeless. Government Spokesman Cyrus Oguna on Wednesday said a committee has been formed to investigate why the evictions were carried out at a time when the country was facing the Covid-19 crisis. The residents were left exposed to the vagaries of the weather and the coronavirus. You realise that some of the people who were evicted had title deeds and the land has been owned by the Nairobi Water and Company for some time. “It is known that that land has been owned the water company and the Nairobi Metropolitan Services is working out to see how they can assist,” Oguna added.
