Watu wa Marurui wamezuia Northern Bypass wakipinga kunyang'anywa ardhi

Watu wanaokaa kwa urudishaji katika Marurui, Kasarani, Nairobi, wamezuia gari kwenye Northern Bypass wakipinga kunyang'anywa ardhi na mwanakuzabi wa kibinafsi. Wanadai wameishi hapo kwa miaka mingi na wanaomba msaada wa Gavana Johnson Sakaja na Rais William Ruto. Tukio hilo limesababisha kusimamishwa kwa usafiri kwa muda.

Watu zaidi ya 6,000 wanaokaa kwa urudishaji katika Marurui wamezuia Northern Bypass siku ya Jumapili, Mei 3, 2026, wakipinga kumuduwa ardhi yao na mwanakuzabi wa kibinafsi. Wameweka miti mikubwa, matairi yanayowaka na mawe barabarani, na kuvua masomo ya kutoondoka mpaka washike wengine waangalie.

Kulingana na picha zilizopatikana, wengine walikuwa na helmets, masks na vazi vya kunukia taa, ikionyesha mpangilio. Mmoja wa waandamanaji alisema, “Nilizaliwa hapa, familia yangu yote iko hapa, na ninafuga watoto wangu hapa pia. Kama watatupeleka, sina mahali pa kwenda.” Wanadai mwanakuzabi ni mwanasiasa mwenye nguvu.

Ardhi ya Marurui ni mchanganyiko mgumu wa mali ya kibinafsi, ardhi ya umma na makazi ya urudishaji, na migogoro mingi bado haijatatuliwa. Sehemu kubwa ya Jua Kali imekaliwa na wakazi zaidi ya miaka ishirini kwenye ekari 7. Hali hiyo inahusisha migogoro kati ya mashirika ya kibinafsi na serikali.
