At Deep Sea last Friday evening, it didn’t matter the CBC children were at home for a one week recess, the bulldozer had arrived to make them homeless, bookless & sleepless. It didn’t matter their parents were serving the nation in the nearby shops, stalls and palatial flats of Parklands - the 10 pm curfew didn’t matter. Utumishi kwa wote was on standby to do their ABC; protect the bulldozers as they forcefully brought down decrepit homes.
Where was Mulembe nation? because there are a number from ingo - where was Mt Kenya? Quite a number come from Murang’a and Kiambu.
Where was the Big 4, and its housing agenda? These central business ringtones didn’t matter as bulldozers visited pain on families of Deep Sea on Friday, rendering many roofless, kitchen-less, toilet less & hapless.
State organs and the police - utumishi kwa bulldozer were in deep sleep when the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kenya recently ruled against such senseless & reckless evictions on public land? In two landmark decisions (on City Cotton and Mitumba), the judiciary has spoken.
The right to housing is not predicated on ownership of title deeds; the people’s homes, however decrepit, enjoy the protection of the Law:- https://twitter.com/Muhahami/status/1443950410230808593?s=08 |
