Tenants accuse Nairobi County Gov’t of using goons to vandalize homes

Tonight, the Nairobi County government is locked in a bitter standoff with residents of county-owned housing units, following a sweeping crackdown on rent defaulters. As eviction operations intensify, affected tenants have raised serious concerns, accusing hired gangs of vandalizing homes and looting property under the guise of enforcement. But the county government remains unmoved, insisting that all defaulters will be evicted, with no exceptions. As Francis Odee now reports, Woodley and Kariobangi estates are among the hardest hit.
