The Kenyan government has initiated a large-scale project to demarcate riparian reserves, wetlands, and springs along the Nairobi Rivers Corridor starting on December 22, 2024. This multi-agency operation aims to reclaim land and protect the city's waterways, with unlawful structures facing removal after due process.

• The operation will cover the Nairobi, Ngong, and Mathare rivers, among others, from their sources.
• Lands CS Alice Wahome announced the exercise, following a Cabinet directive issued in April 2024.
• Property owners will need to grant survey teams access and submit documents like titles and building approvals for verification.
