Nairobi residents from Dagoretti and Kangemi have protested a move by the Johnson Sakaja-led county to move 30 meters away on both sides of the riparian land along the Nairobi River.
The county leadership directed residents living along the city's riparian areas to move 30 metres away on both sides to caution them from the effects of the rains as the long rains begin.
Tension is gripping among the residents and landowners around the lands, who say the move by the county government is threatening the livelihoods of many of them who have lived there for years.
According to the residents, they smell malice in the orders, alleging that it is a plot to rid the thousands of families of the lands they have known as home for years.
