Starehe MP Charles Njagua has pleaded with president Uhuru Kenyatta to stop landlords from evicting tenants over unpaid or delayed rent. "Evictions of tenants, while we are facing this crisis, is a health and security risk that we can't afford. Via Twitter on Thursday, Njagua said some evictees will turn to crime out of desperation to fend for their families. I urge the President to take a similar stance on rent as Uganda's Yoweri Museveni," he said. Museveni on Wednesday warned landlords against hiking or evicting tenants during the Covid-19 lockdown saying it is not allowed.
