The over 2,000 people who were forcefully evicted from 610 acres at Bonje and Mwamdudu in Kinango, Kwale couty, watched in despair as bulldozers brought down their remaining structures. The latest move to clear the remaining structures is intended to pave way for construction work by a private developer. The residents’ spokesperson Ramadhan Lewa on Saturday said many of the residents have lost hope. Passaris said the Mwamdudu and Bonje demolitions in Kwale county and the mass demolitions in Nairobi could easily plunge the country into chaos. The Nairobi Woman Representative said the demolitions negate Uhuru’s housing legacy that he wants to create.
