Gikomba traders move to court to stop the demolition of structures on riparian land

Gikomba traders, whose stalls are marked for demolition, have taken legal action against the government.

Represented by lawyer Danstan Omari, the traders argue that the government’s decision to demolish the stalls threatens to leave many people jobless.

“Once there’s injunction the court stops but if there’s no injunction the government takes its time,” said Omari.

In an amended application, the traders say that they have approached the court for orders to cushion them from an imminent violation of their human rights.

“The plaintiff is on the verge of being evicted from their residential/business premises,” reads court papers.

They have filed a lawsuit naming the Nairobi County Government as the respondent.
On May 24, 2024, the government issued a directive for the demolition of structures constructed on riparian land.
Some traders criticized the authorities for not providing clear communication, stating that the notice was given verbally.

“It is true some people had encroached and built residential houses near the river. But we should not pay for the mistakes of others,” another added.
