Residents and traders displaced by Kenya Railways projects in Laini Saba, Kibra, have appealed to the Senate to intervene over stalled resettlement programmes, incomplete houses and inadequate trading facilities.
Appearing before the Senate Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing on Thursday, the petitioners said hundreds of families and traders were still waiting for houses and business premises promised under the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP).
The petitioners, led by Victor Wamae and Woodley/Kenyatta Golf Course MCA Davidson DNG Ngibuini, told the committee that even some beneficiaries who had received houses were living in deplorable conditions because of missing basic services.
