Business owners up in arms over compulsory acquisition and demolition plans.
A number of new buildings and businesses alongside a major Kenyan highway are facing compulsory acquisition and demolition as part of the government’s stated road network expansion plans.
The country’s Ministry of Lands has issued notice that it plans to swallow up various parcels of land along Mombasa Road as part of the JKIA-Museum Hill Gigiri Road project. Among the buildings slated for demolition is the Standard Group Media Centre that houses the Kenyan television network and the daily standard newspaper.
