Traders in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) are counting losses after their structures were pulled down by officers from Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS).
This is after the land owner – Mustafa Hebatula Investment Limited – accused the traders of trespass and illegal occupation of the piece of land along Ronald Ngala street.
Acting on a court order, NMS inspectorate officers flattened the more than 20 exhibition tents that had been pitched at the parcel of land.
But the traders have accused the Major General Mohamed Badi-led administration of demolishing their structures, which have been there for the last five months, without any prior eviction notice.
