Kenya Railways has announced it will conduct further demolitions in Nairobi as it repossesses land for new railway infrastructure vital for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). This follows a dawn demolition operation that flattened multiple structures and vehicles on Douglas Wakiiuri Road, opposite Rubis Nyayo Stadium. The demolished properties included a carwash and other businesses belonging to Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi, who later inspected the site. In a separate development concerning business premises in the city, Irungu Nyakera, an ally of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, has alleged a plot by Nairobi County to repossess market stalls after a recent data collection exercise.
