The business community in Kikuyu Town, Kiambu County, has rebuilt the courts that were destroyed during the Gen Z demonstrations in June, which saw at least four courtrooms and registry desks reduced to ashes.

The community handed over the new building to Kikuyu Chief Magistrate Liza Gicheha yesterday. Over Sh2.8 million was reportedly spent constructing Court Number One, while PCEA Thogoto contributed Sh800,000 to build new washrooms.
