Machakos County Announces Demolition of Houses Sitting on Riparian Land, Issues Notice to Landlords

The Machakos County government announced a new wave of demolitions targeting structures built on riparian land to restore blocked drainage channels and reduce flooding risks. Affected areas include several estates in Mavoko, where recent floods have damaged roads and homes. Property owners are urged to remove their structures before demolitions begin, with agreements already made with a developer to create waterways.
