More than 7,000 households of Kariobangi Sewerage Farmers Slum, Korogocho Market, Kisumu Ndogo and Nyayo Village, Nairobi, Kenya, were forcibly evicted by the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company Ltd (NCWSC) between 4 and 6 May. The displacement occurred despite the human rights organisation 'Kariobangi Sewerage Farmers Self Group' filed a case to the Environment and Lands Court and obtained interim orders halting the evictions. Residents have reportedly title deeds to their homes and have been paying levies to the county government for the land. The NCWSC is alleged to have rendered residents homeless during the Covid-19 pandemic, increasing their vulnerability to contracting the virus.
