Demolition of building in Nairobi have been ongoing for the past one week now and so many business people have been affected as they have losy millions of money.According to Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko he law should not be applied selectively and that he is ready to lead by example,
He has further added that even his own property in Buru Buru, which has been built on a road reserve, will also be brought down.
He said has also said he is prepared to be a one-term governor but leave a legacy than entertain grabbing of public land and other utilities, stating that he is aware that his stand will make him an enemy of a few rich people in Nairobi who include politicians and tycoons, but insisted he is prepared to deal with them.
The City Hall boss vowed to reclaim all grabbed land and public utilities in the county, warning that any county or National Environment Management Authority (Nema) officials who have conspired with grabbers to approve building plans on public land will also be prosecuted alongside the grabbers.
However not everyone is happy with the move.The Kiambu Governor Ferdinard Waititu is not supporting the move. A video doing rounds has show Waititu urging that demolishing building is not a solugtion the solution should be redirecting the rivers,A statement that has left Kenyans on Social media cracking funny jokes,
Here are some of their reaction:

Kiambu governor, Ferdinand Waititu, is opposing the demolitions on riparian land because he doesn’t understand the meaning of RIPARIAN.

Ferdinand Waititu now says the govt must stop the demolition of buildings sitting on riparian land; and give time for the structure owners to move the wetlands further away from their buildings. Yes, you heard that right. And you can’t make this stuff up.

Kiambu Governor, Ferdinand Waititu thinks Rivers can be redirected somewhere else as he did with his degree all the way to Punjab from Kenya.
Rivers can never be redirected when it floods they will still use their main pathway.
