Authorities have issued a 14-day ultimatum to State House to demolish a wall encroaching on riparian land along the Kirichwa Kubwa River as part of a major effort to reclaim Nairobi's waterways.

• State House, an official residence in Nairobi, must remove approximately 15 meters of its wall from the riverbank.
• Involved parties include the Water Resources Authority (WRA), its Chief Executive Officer Mohamed Moulid Shurie, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, and the Nairobi River Commission.
• This demolition is a key part of the Nairobi River Regeneration Programme, a Ksh50 billion initiative to restore riverine environments and develop urban infrastructure.

A section of the State House perimeter wall, built on riparian land, has been marked for demolition as part of Nairobi's River Regeneration Programme. This action signals a strong commitment from the President William Ruto administration to reclaim waterways in the city.

• Over Sh50 billion has been allocated to the project, which aims to restore riparian land and improve environmental conditions.
• Governor Sakaja Johnson, alongside officials from State House and the Nairobi River Commission, announced the demolition.
• Governor Sakaja stated that as the "primary tenant," President Ruto agreed to comply with environmental regulations, setting an example for other structures.

State House has been formally given a 14-day notice to demolish a section of its wall built on the Kirichwa Kubwa River riparian reserve.

• The demolition is a direct order from President William Ruto, who stated State House will comply.
• Key figures involved include CEO Mohamed Moulid Shurie of the Water Resources Authority and Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja.
• This action is part of a larger effort to address severe flooding issues in Nairobi and across the country, caused by poor urban planning and encroachment on riparian land.
