The residents of south B area in Nairobi were today
involved in a run and stone throw battle with the city council. The city
council poses as a threat especially to Business operators of south B.
Reports have
it that the city council issued an order that all business operators operating
on the corridors of south B should clear the corridors commencing today 30th
September 2014.
The south B residents expressed their resentments at council officers since most of
them depend on their businesses to earn a living. Today at 11a.m the city
council kept their word and stormed the streets and injured one Matatu conductor.
The angry residents tried to confront them but they were quickly dispersed by
tear gas.
The city council torched one hotel to which the
residents responded quickly to the fire. Later on, the residents could not
stomach them anymore and started throwing stones at them. One witness talked to
ECN journalists and expressed the inhuman nature of the city council who threw
tear gas at a woman with a child.

Funny how kenyans solve problems with violence...good job
Surely where is our country heading to the same thing happened here in Kisumu city two weeks ago when the county government displaced the bussiness people here in Oile Market. Where was Sinking when that was happening?
Once notice of vacation is given, there should be immediate response. however on the other hand the people should be given an alternative source.
