Kenyans will cough in excess of Sh2 billion to compensate the owners of Nakumatt Ukay mall demolished at the crack of dawn by a multi-agency government team back in 2018.

Justice Oguttu Mboya slammed four state agencies- Office of the Attorney General, National Environmental Management Authority, Water Resource Management Authority, and the Nairobi City County- for arbitrarily depriving the owners of Nakumatt Ukay of their property.
