Residents of Nyayo Estate in Embakasi have protested the grabbing of public land set aside for social amenities, accusing officials of the National Social Security Fund of colluding with individuals benefiting from the disputed parcels.
“We are protesting simply because we want to have spaces where our children can play and schools where our children can go and to hold this institution accountable,” stated a resident
Led by Nyayo Estate Residents Association (NERA) chairperson Wycliffe Omuya, the residents staged a peaceful protest walk through the estate on Friday by visiting several sites they say were originally reserved for public facilities.
