Traders from the Gikomba market have gone to court protesting their looming eviction to pave the way for the construction of affordable housing units.
According to the petitioners, Nairobi County and the government issued a public notice dated March 6, 2025, which declared that the Nairobi River corridor riparian land expanded to 60 meters.
The notice in the dailies was signed by Nairobi County Executive Committee member in charge of Environment and Urban Planning Patrick Mbogo.
The case has been filed by the Mitumba Consortium Association of Kenya and Mbugua Kibathi.
