Kenyans question why apartments next to Java were not demolished

The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) on Monday demolished a Java House outlet and Shell petrol station in Nairobi’s Kileleshwa estate.

According to the environment body, the two buildings had been built on riparian land and encroached on a road reserve.

After finishing with the JAVA and Shell in Kileleshwa, NEMA should then go for this building on Langata Rd @AgolaLinda @arabella_gracey @O_NyangaiM https://t.co/uKhtGU3wqT— JOloo (@oloojl) August 6, 2018

The demolition caught employees of the two establishments (Java and Shell) unawares and they salvaged the little they could before the buildings were crushed.

A statement seen by Ureport on Tuesday indicated that NEMA would continue with the demolition exercise in its bid to ensure a clean environment for all.
