Read Time:1 Minute, 33 Second
The once tranquil Nakuru city CBD erupted in chaos following a dramatic altercation involving County Executive Member for Trade, Kuria, and Simon Sankale Nasieku,Chairman of Stall Owners in Nakuru, as they confronted rowdy individuals demolishing market stalls.
The heated exchange, captured in a video shared on Manoti TV’s YouTube channel and seen by Nakuru Times, highlights the tension as Nasieku attempted to inform the affected stall owners that the governor had issued a directive to halt the demolitions.
In the video, Nasieku is seen explaining to the victims of the demolition that Governor Susan Kihika had already written a letter to prevent any further demolitions.
He emphasized that those involved in the destruction were acting unlawfully and should face legal consequences.
An irate CECM Kuria was also seen issuing orders and receiving a call, presumably from Governor Kihika, confirming that he had arrived on the scene and had halted the demolitions in accordance with her instructions.
Earlier, Simon Ole Nasieku, the Chairman of the Stall Owners in Nakuru, issued a press statement assuring the owners that the demolitions would cease. Nasieku stated that he had written to the governor, who responded promptly to stop the illegal activity.
Nasieku further alleged during his press release that an unknown, well-connected individual had previously stormed government houses at night, demolishing them, and was now targeting the market stalls for their own benefit. He called upon Governor Kihika to issue allotment letters to the stall owners, providing them with a guarantee against being evicted from their premises.
The situation remains tense as stall owners await further assurances and official documentation to secure their businesses.
Nakuru Times will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
