Residents of Nyayo Estate in Ruaraka, Nairobi have lost bid to overturn the government's decision to evict them and demolish their houses to pave way for a slum upgrading programme and sewerage treatment plant.
This is after the Environment and Lands court declined their request to bar the Police Inspector General, Cabinet Secretary for Water and Sanitation, Director-General Nairobi Metropolitan Services and Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company from proceeding with the planned evictions.
