Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has accused the government of a land grab under the guise of the Nairobi River clean-up. He claims authorities are pushing residents 60 metres away from the river, despite the law requiring only 6-10 metres.

• The clean-up project, launched by President William Ruto in March, has a budget of Ksh50 billion.
• Owino alleges that residents in Kangemi and Dagoretti are being evicted from ancestral freehold land without proper compensation.
• The MP is calling on residents to unite and resist the evictions, citing their constitutional property rights.
