Nairobi West residents ordered to relocate as government plans building demolitions near dam

Residents living in Nairobi West, downstream of the Nairobi Dam, have been ordered to relocate to safer areas as the government begins a plan to demolish buildings along river channels within 14 days. The move comes amid fears that the dam could burst its banks after recent floods. Marking of buildings set for demolition is expected to begin on Wednesday. Some residents are demanding accountability for land officials who approved construction and issued title deeds in affected areas.
