Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has expressed serious concerns about illegal night demolitions and evictions taking place in Mukuru, suggesting that some officials may be acting without proper authority. During a visit with President William Ruto to the AIC Pipeline area in Embakasi, Sakaja highlighted these actions as not only unlawful but also inhumane, calling for accountability and adherence to legal procedures in matters of housing.

Sakaja intervened to halt recent demolition activities, drawing attention to the unacceptable nature of demolishing homes during the night without providing residents with due process or alternative arrangements. He conveyed his discontent with the ongoing practices, stating, "Demolishing people's houses at night without due process or offering them alternatives is against the law." His comments underscore the urgent need for reforms to protect the rights of residents and ensure that any urban development adheres strictly to regulations and respects the affected communities.

Moreover, the governor reaffirmed the county’s commitment to infrastructural development, such as building access roads, but insisted that all initiatives must comply with legal standards. His remarks not only aim to protect the rights of Mukuru residents but also serve as a warning to officials who may exploit their positions for corrupt purposes. This situation highlights broader issues of governance and the treatment of marginalized communities in urban planning within Nairobi.
