Residents of Makongeni Estate in Nairobi are protesting against planned evictions for President William Ruto’s affordable housing project, citing lack of consultation and inadequate compensation. Many residents are descendants of former Kenya Railways Corporation employees, arguing the land is their inheritance tied to unpaid pensions.

• Ksh150,000: Rumored compensation amount, deemed insufficient for renting in Nairobi.
• Makongeni Residents Association: Claims no proper notice or consultation was given for the enumeration exercise.
• Ministry of Lands and Housing: Residents have sent over 20 letters to the ministry, including to Principal Secretary Charles Hinga, without response.
• Ksh50 billion: Estimated worth of the land, raising concerns that private developers may benefit more than the community.
