Syokimau Demolitions

Scores of residents in Syokimau area have been left homeless after bulldozers flattened their houses worth millions of shillings off Mombasa Road in Nairobi under the supervision of armed administration and regular police officers. According to Kenya Airports Authority, the houses sit in the corridor flight path, which poses a great risk to the safety of planes as well as the lives of the dwellers. Sally Mbilu reports on a demolition riddled with controversy as residents claim that the land dispute was in court and they had not been issued with any eviction notice, amid claims by the Kenya Airports Authority to the contrary.
