Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has presented a petition before the Senate regarding alleged inhumane evictions, lack of compensation, and inadequate public participation in ongoing evictions along the Nairobi River Corridor.

The petition, submitted on behalf of the Korogocho Community Forum, calls on the Senate to initiate investigations and make recommendations concerning compensation for those already displaced, as well as safeguards for residents who may be affected by future evictions.
