Ruto claimed that part of the State House, Nairobi, lies on riparian land along the Kisichwa River, will be demolished after he got a notice.
A claim meant to calm anger over Gikomba demolitions.
So I checked the maps carefully.
The Kisichwa River runs west of State House, not through it.
Between the river and the State House, there is a clear buffer:
Nairobi Arboretum
St George's Primary and Secondary Schools
Roads and open space
Multiple apartment blocks
In fact, the closest developments to the river are residential buildings sitting right along its banks.
So what exactly is being demolished? Or another lie? And why haven't they gotten notices too?
And here’s the problem and hypocrisy:
There are over 30 buildings still standing on both sides of the river on riparian land.
No demolitions. No urgency. No national statements.
But in Gikomba, demolitions are immediate, justified using the same “riparian” argument.
So let’s be honest:
If this is truly about riparian law,
Why does enforcement start with traders in Gikomba?
And not with permanent structures visibly sitting on the Kisichwa River?
And more importantly:
Which exact part of the State House is on riparian land?
Because, from publicly available maps, that claim is not obvious.
