Kinango MP Benjamin Tayari has defended himself against accusations he did nothing to save the homes of over 200 families at Bonje in Mwamdudu village, Kasemeni ward. The families' homes were demolished by security agencies and the residents accused their MP of abandoning them at their hour of need. Tayaru on Saturday said he was in Nairobi attending Parliament when he received information about the demolitions. “It is true we were not readily available at the time of demolitions but it is because we were in Nairobi for Parliament duties. He said he could not get the means to reach Mombasa as soon as he heard about the demolitions.
