Demolition at the East African Portland Cement Company land on Monday entered day four.
Additional Security officers have been deployed at the site as more bulldozers were brought in on Sunday.
The demolitions, which began on Friday, have seen hundreds of residents of the newly created county village in Athi River, Machakos, rendered homeless with several schools and churches pulled down.
This was after a court order was issued indicating that the said disputed piece of land belonged to the Portland Cement and not the residents who had occupied it for years.
On October 9, 2023, the Environment and Land Court in Machakos struck out a court case that had been filed by ‘Aimi ma Lukenya’, who have been laying claim on the prime land measuring 4,298 acres.
Lady Justice A Nyukuri in her ruling noted that Aimi Ma Likenya had failed to serve their documents to the defendants as ordered by the court.
