....most of the affected Are young couples who appear to have saved or borrowed money to own a home for the very first time..I will not be surprised if someone commits suicide....I however pray that it does not happen.....

Have just seen the demolitions on Citizen tv and its devastating. As someone who has recently completed building and moved into my house (not in Syokimau), I really sympathise with those whose houses have been demolished. I know what it takes to put up a house. I believe many have taken loans (repayable for several years to come) to buy the land and put up the houses. Some may have stretched their payslips to the limit since they believed they would no longer be paying rent. So basically their lives are ruined. Can you imagine the pain of repaying a 6m bank loan for a house that's been demolished? Pole sana to the victims.

(Some disclosure: I had been shown a few plots in that Syokimau area when I was looking for land to put up a house).

Sleep easy?.... some of the ones coming down were on plots with 'genuine' titles.

Did you sell any of them?

Folks who demarcated these parcels of land, those who sold, issued title and approval of construction should be jailed. Kenyan government you have once again betrayed your citizens

I was there on Saturday and what i saw is really really sad these are people who have sacrificed everything to have a roof over their head.
