Spotted at Southend Mall and during the demolition of Java Coffee House in Kileleshwa, Kenyans have now labeled it as one of the most feared ‘monsters’ this week.
Crushing everything that sits on its path, the bulldozer is a nightmare for owners of buildings that are set to be brought down, with President Uhuru Kenyatta firmly backing the exercise.
Netizens wasted little time to praise the green giant and its driver, whom they called one of the most powerful people at the moment.
Here are some of the reactions:
4 things that are giving the elites sleepless nights, a call from DCI, a DPP call,a green bulldozer and Uhuru's media briefing.leo ni friday tujibambe huko Nakumatt Ukay

pic.twitter.com/HcNr77YEQU I love this green bulldozer called SANNY, demolishing Nakumatt Ukay. It is a jinxed bulldozer!! It brought down Java house and shell along kileleshwa road, demolished southend mall. It should land on Taj Mall. It is green, the colour of environment.— Elijah Okemwa (@elijah1334) August 10, 2018
If I owned a green bulldozer I'd just start driving it randomly around Nairobi. #NEMA
