There was joy and jostling as 691 tenants transited from their hovels in Kibera to posh houses in an adjacent estate.

Utmost care had been taken with the names and numbers inscribed on key holders with keys to the new houses but the pushing continued during the allocations, probably because many feared that after all the waiting, they would still miss out.
