Residents of Limuru, Kiambu County, have placed the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) on the spot for ignoring their views and going ahead to exhume bodies for an ambitious road project.

The irate residents took to the construction site to protest the move by the roads authority terming it a disrespect to the dead, their families and the community at large.

While the residents revealed that they were not against the road project, they did not agree with the move to exhume bodies in fresh graves and piling soil on them.

Further, the residents have alleged that KURA is hijacking the road site since, the new road was not supposed to pass near the cemetery, this despite the construction being already underway.  A traffic snarl up along Kiambu Road on Sunday, September 2, 2021.
