Home owners’ pain in Kilifi as county flattens houses worth millions
Some of the property that was destroyed after the Kilifi county government demolished houses it claims were built on government land in Mabirikani area on April 4, 2024.
Reports indicate that the piece is earmarked for development of county headquarters.
In an interview, Kilifi governor Gideon Mung'aro said the demolition was timely because they issued several notices to vacate but occupants ignored them.
Home owners in Kilifi county are counting losses running into millions of shillings after the administration demolished structures erected on public land in Mabirikani area.
At around 5am Thursday, enforcement officers from the devolved unit and senior county officials descended on the land leaving a trail of destruction and a torrent of tears.
