Nearly 50 families in Nairobi's Mbotela Estate have been left homeless for a month after what they termed an unlawful eviction by a private developer.
The families, led by Embakasi North Member of Parliament James Gakuya, hit out at the private developer whose identity remains unknown for failing to heed a court order that prohibited their eviction.
Gakuya hit out at the government for condoning what he termed as the illegal evictions of the residents and failing to provide alternative housing for the displaced families.
The MP also took a swipe at Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja and other local leaders for failing to protect Mbotela residents, accusing him of colluding with the influential private developer in evicting the residents.
