The Kenya Railways Corporation (KR) has issued a seven-day eviction notice to properties along Haile Selassie Avenue and Uhuru Highway in Nairobi, intensifying a dispute over land required for the Sh28 billion Nairobi Railway City project. This notice directly affects churches led by Pastor James Ng’ang’a and Bishop Margaret Wanjiru.

• The Nairobi Railway City project is a 425-acre urban regeneration initiative, partly backed by an £80 million commitment from the United Kingdom.
• Affected institutions include Neno Evangelism Centre, led by Pastor James Ng’ang’a, and Jesus Is Alive Ministries (JIAM), founded by Bishop Margaret Wanjiru.
• Ng’ang’a holds a 2023 court injunction against Kenya Railways, after purchasing his property from the Central Bank of Kenya.
• Portions of Bishop Wanjiru’s church compound were previously demolished in March 2024.
• Earlier in January, business premises linked to Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi were demolished, demonstrating Kenya Railways’ resolve.

President William Ruto announced that a title deed for Nairobi's Gikomba Market will be processed within 90 days, officially establishing its ownership as public land belonging to Nairobi County. This move aims to prevent land grabbing and facilitate the construction of Phase Three of the market after Phase Two's completion.

• The government is investing Sh7.2 billion in constructing 15 new modern markets across Nairobi County.
• President Ruto directed Lands Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome and Principal Secretary Nixon Korir to work with the National Land Commission on the Gikomba title deed.
• The Hustler Fund has disbursed KSh80 billion since its launch on November 30, 2022, with 800,000 borrowers using it frequently at an 8 percent annual interest rate.
