The ongoing demolitions at Mavoko in Machakos County were triggered by the dismissal of a court case Aimi Ma Lukenya Society filed against the East African Portland Cement Company (EAPCC).
The society lost the battle for the land estimated to measure 1,740 acres after the Environment and Land Court judge Annet Nyukuri struck out its petition on a technicality. This was after members failed to comply with directives issued by the court on March 1 on an amended petition.
