Some of the unfinished houses and structures demolished by the government in Kisii on Wednesday have for long been used a hideout for rapists, drug peddlers and robbers.

The officers involved in the demolition said that some of the suspected criminals who been under the police watch could not even be available to rescue their properties from the demolished structures.
