Clifford Nawalla (centre), a business operator at Nairobi's Lunar Park, flanked by the recreational facility's owner Gerald Kimari (right), speaks to the media about the park's impending demolition.
Started 10 years ago, the park has been the go to spot for many city residents who, together with their children, have enjoyed the services offered at the facility.
The owner of Lunar Park, Mr. Gerald Kimari, has called on the government to be rational and offer compensation for the losses business owners at the park will suffer.
Children and parents in Nairobi will no longer have the joy of experiencing the recreational facilities offered at the Lunar Park should plans to demolish it by the end of this week materialise.
Situated right next to Uhuru Park, the popular city recreational spot has been earmarked for demolition to pave the way for the anticipated Jomo Kenyatta International Airport-Westlands expressway as well as a bus station for public vehicles using the Ngong Road route.
