Senators are investigating mass evictions and demolitions of buildings in Nairobi last year. Environment CS Keriako Tobiko told the team he could not answer the queries because the demolitions were carried out by the Nairobi Regeneration Taskforce and not his ministry. The taskforce is a multi-agency team appointment by President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2017 to reclaim Nairobi River and its tributaries. Tobiko told the senators to write to Balala and Sonko. Tobiko said DPP Noordin Haji and DCI boss George Kinoti were investigating and will soon prosecute those who irregularly approved the structures.
