Kenyans on twitter are now demanding for the demolitions of Standard Media Group center, Sameer Business park, Naivas Outering Road and Kahama Hotel.
Your Standard Group centre is alleged to be on a road reserve. Poll yourselves alongside TAJ mall #TaJMALLDown https://t.co/PIqHG2qQgJ

This follows the bringing down of Airgate Mall fomerly Taj mall this morning by SANY excavator, which stands on the road reserve.
Taj Mall is believed to have disrupted the expansion of outering Road which started in the year 2016.
Kenyans now demand that the same can affect the expansion of Mombasa road since The Standard Media Group Center and Sameer Business Park are believed to have been built on the road reserve.
I as the Boychild president applauds the demolition of tower of impunity, Taj Mall. But remember We have a couple of assignments remaining. We want Standard Media Group & Sameer Business Park down! We want Kahama Hotel Globe Cinema Roundabout down! We want Naivas OuterRing down!

Demolitions of buildings standing on riparian and road reserves started last month with most buildings along Lang’ata Road getting affected.
Airgate Mall owners had been given a notice of up to 30th August 2018 to bring down the building before the government’s decision to do so.
Kenyans had started speculating since the deadline given had passed and nothing was happening, with many wondering whether SANY machine had broken down.
