Residents living on riparian land in Nairobi have decried the government's directive to vacate the area without giving them an alternative place to relocate to.

Civil society and human rights groups also weighed in on the ongoing forced evictions on riparian land saying it's in contravention of the Constitution and gross violation of fundamental human rights.
