Kenya National Human Rights Commission (KNHRC) and Mazingira Institute have described the demolitions of multi-million homes in Athi-River as gross violation against human rights.

They said the move goes against United Nations Guidelines together which stipulates that evictions cannot be conducted before a notice is issued.
