More than 1,000 families evicted for the second time by the police from the site of the stalled multi-billion shilling Itare Dam in Kuresoi South have vowed to stay put.

Even after the Government on Tuesday demolished makeshift structures erected by the families at the site, the evictees refused to move, saying they had nowhere to go.
