Winnie Makinda says she is facing the worst crisis and lowest moment of her life because of the Kenyan government’s response to floods that devastated her poor community in the capital of Nairobi
Residents throw back teargas at riot police as excavators and bulldozers bring down their homes in the Mathare area of Nairobi, Wednesday, May 8, 2024. The Kenyan government ordered the evacuation of people from flood-prone areas, resulting in the demolition of houses and the loss of at least one life in the melee caused by the forced evictions.
“The driver of the excavator refused to listen to the pleas by the women that there were children inside the church,” Makinda said amid sobs. Makinda makes $2 day washing other peoples clothes and says she can barely afford one proper meal a day for her children let alone pay hospital bills. And now she has to raise money for her son's burial, a costly exercise for most people in western Kenya, and move to a new house.
Millicent Otondo, 48, a mother of three, lost both her home and her 20-year-old business during this week's demolition. The government has defended itself against opposition accusations it was ill-prepared for the impact of the floods despite early warnings.
