Residents of Runda Estate, Nairobi, are protesting an alleged grab of a public eight-acre parcel of land, opposing plans for a high-rise development.

Residents allege the land was intended for a school and fear a proposed multi-storey building will disrupt the estate's planning and drainage.
Key figures include Chairman of the Runda Estate Residents Association, Chris Gitonga, Area MCA Kamau Thuo Biu ni Biu, and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino.
Babu Owino called for Water Resources Authority, Nairobi City County Government, and NEMA to revoke approvals for the development.
