Residents of Kabiro in Dagoretti North constituency have been assured no demolitions or projects will start without proper consultations. The residents had raised concerns after some buildings and structures were marked for demolition, yet they were not been given legal notice. Earlier this month, Nairobi governor Mike Sonko ordered the suspension of demolition of illegal structures in the slums. He said he has received many complaints from Nairobi residents, saying the demolitions are destroying livelihoods. This year, demolition of illegal structures on public land and road reserves has left many people jobless as well as homeless.
